Daily Dose of Natural Medicine: Miki Purnell presented by the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii

A ‘Daily Dose of Natural Medicine’ is Dr. Miki Purnell’s recommendation for people who wish to prevent chronic illness, including chronic pain. It consists of a plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet, activity recommendation, and mindfulness practice. It is a simple DIY mind-body-spirit care. “Healthy eating” is very personal, and not all the foods are the same due to food alteration processes. Dr. Purnell would like to engage, empower, and encourage participants to do this simple practice for their health!
