Ayurveda basics: Constitution and Healing

Study the therapeutic approaches of Ayurveda

Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, is known for its holistic and individual therapeutic approach. The aim of this 2nd part of the Ayurveda basic course is to understand this in all its diversity and complexity. In addition to the 1st part of the basic course - concepts and disease factors (ABK), you will now learn the practical approaches and methods of Ayurvedic healing and therapy.

The focus of this seminar is on Ayurvedic treatment methods, which are individually tailored to the constitution with its physical and psychological aspects. Using a wealth of examples, the seminar relates to practical everyday questions and situations and provides orientation for a healthier lifestyle that is tailored to your own needs.

You will learn how to determine your Ayurvedic constitution and receive a sound introduction to the diagnostic procedures and therapeutic methods of Ayurvedic medicine. This will give you an overview of the overall structure and ancient Indian science and an understanding of the holistic and individual approach of Ayurvedic therapy methods.

The basic course is the basis for further training at the European Academy of Ayurveda. It consists of two parts (concepts and disease factors (ABK) and constitution and medicine (ABH), which provide you with knowledge and orientation for your further path with Ayurveda. Comprehensive accompanying material complements the professional teaching.
