Jennifer Ott describes herself as a sensitive person who has always been good at suppressing her own needs. She had been suffering from chronic migraines and endometriosis for a long time. In 2019, however, her body began to scream - the pain got worse and she developed fibromyalgia.
The doctors told her: “You have to live with it”. But Jenny knew: this is no life. So she looked for something that could help her. In the video interview, she explains how she became
symptom-free (video is in German, please activate subtitles and choose your language or use AI to translate):
Key points from the interview:
- She came across Ayurveda, the holistic Indian medicine, through a yoga course, she was immediately fascinated and knew “this is the path I'm going to take”
- She deepened her knowledge during several training courses, including as an Ayurveda yoga therapist
- Jenny found self-efficacy with Ayurveda, learned how she functioned, what she needed, how she could eat differently, what she needed to change in her life, how she found a different way of life. Yoga, nutrition, pranayamas and the holistic view were important aspects
- She felt a rapid improvement and became symptom-free within 2 years
- Awareness of needs and emotions was also important, especially the emotion of anger. Her approach to anger: feeling the emotion, where it is in the body, keeping the connection to the body, naming 5 things in the room
