In 2021 this course is only available on Zoom (not in India)
- Nov 6th & 7th, Saturday & Sunday from 10am to 12:30 and 2pm - 4:30 on Zoom in a small group
Textbooks: Ayurvedic Herbology East & West: A Practical Guide to Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine (on Amazon) and Ayurvedic Medicine for Westerners: Clinical Protocols & Treatments in Ayurveda (Volume 3) (on Amazon).
The main objective of this course is to understand the attributes (gunas), actions (karma) and taste (rasa) of most vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and other food items, and learn to form diets to therapeutically address specific health conditions (ahara chikitsa). Additionally, we will study 50 of the most common traditional ayurvedic herbs, and simple formulas to address doshic imbalances and the subdoshas. Participants will role-play daily to practice prescribing dietary and herbal formulas [based on the herbs covered in the lessons each day].
Note: The northern Indian approach is almost entirely herbal compared with the southern or Kerala approach where abhyanga, the use of oils, sweating therapies, Shirodhara and panchakarma are the main methods of treatment. Thus, these workshops do not cover these physical forms of treatment or any form of bodywork, since a purely herbal and dietary approach is sufficient if the practitioner is skilled.“
