Ayurveda and Mexico: An Interview with Liliana Flores Benavides

Recently, Liliana Flores Benavides spent 2 weeks in India on with a group of health enthusiasts from Mexico. A former member of congress in Mexico, Liliana has taken steps to help improve the social and economic climate of the country which has been reeling since the financial downturn of its American neighbor.

I interviewed Liliana here at Jiva. In our talk, she discusses the potential of Ayurveda in Mexico, which has its own indigenous system of natural healthcare, explaining how Ayurveda can provide tremendous benefits to people who are unable to afford expensive and often ineffective allopathic treatment.

Listen to the interview on Radio Jiva.

Liliana and the group came as part of an Ayurtour, where they studied Ayurveda, received treatments for their own health issues, and also explored and experienced India through a variety of cultural activities.
