alcoholism and anxiety

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

 

I am new to this group and have recently become interested in the

ayurveda philosophy and medical system. I am a clinical psychologist

and I work with many people who have problems with alcohol dependence,

often to help them cope with anxiety.

 

I was wondering if anyone had advice with regard to books or on-line

information, or knew of any diets/herbs/practices that I could use to

better help my clients.

 

Thanks, and I look forward to being part of this group.

 

My best to all,

 

Sean

not exactly Ayurveda related but you should def check out Donna Odierna's work

the HEALTH project in the Bay area.

 

you can get a tape of her lecture here:

she has also published her experiences in the Journal of the American Herbalists

Guild, fall/winter, vol. 2 no.2, page 32.
