Herbalism - Ayurvedic Medicine Foundation Diploma Course

For thousands of years, Ayurveda has protected human health in a simple yet effective manner. You may have heard of Ayurveda before and have wanted to learn more. Well, this Ayurveda Foundation course is for you.

We will look into the history of Ayurveda and its origin in ancient Vedic texts.

We will discover our personal dosha (which is a term used to describe metabolic patterns in Ayurveda) and learn how to work with it in support of optimum health for the body. This will include dietary suggestions on how to help support your dosha.

We will learn how to identify doshas in others and to become aware of when they are unbalanced and learn how to bring them back into balance.

We will study the three Gunas or building blocks of the mind from an Ayurvedic perspective and see how we can work towards a state of Samadhi or Enlightenment through the mind and body.

The content of this course has been expertly written especially for the Academy of Ancient Magik by Ayurvedic Doctor, Dr Kanika Verma. This course is accredited and endorsed by the International Association of Therapists.
