After graduating from a three-week yoga course in Nepal about six months ago, local yoga instructor Keeley Bindley feels confident in offering medical advice on pretty much any medical issues she hears about.
Despite not really studying any science subjects throughout high school or her six months at TAFE in 2013, Keeley is a big believer that doctors are pretty close-minded to a lot of issues, and it’s worth exploring some of the stuff she’s been reading since she first became a yogi in December last year.
After overhearing a class member on the phone to her partner discussing her husband’s most recent bout with appendicitis, Keeley feels the need to interject.
“Aahh. So he’s dealing with old ruptured appendix” says Keeley, who was working in the front office for Ticketek this time last year.
“Gotta be careful with that. What’s his diet like?”
After being informed that the condition is being treated conservatively after minor surgery and ongoing prescription to some medicine that the class member is about to go pick up from the 60-year-old career pharmacist next door, Keeley begins wondering aloud.
“Hmmm. What was I hearing about the that the other day… The best thing for appendix issues…”
“Oh that’s right Kava!”
“A bit of kava and honey, mix it with some greek yoghurt and have it twice a day. Before and after class”
