Friday, Sept. 27, 12:30-1:30 p.m. | Academic Building, Room 201
Join the us for an information session about the Thailand Global Health Experience; hosted by the School of Graduate Studies.
Thailand is unique in the world of traditional medicine. Because of its central location between China and India, two similar but different forms of medicine merged there. Classical Chinese medicine combined with Indian Ayurveda and Thai folk medicine to form Thai-Vedic medicine. On this cultural immersion trip, students study Thai herbal medicine, nutrition and cooking, Thai massage and bodywork, and how Buddhist theory influences Thai-vedic medicine. This global health experience is rooted in traditional medicine and provides a personal, experiential understanding of the Thai culture and the modalities of traditional Thai medicine. All students in all Pograms are welcome!
