Ayurveda basics: Concepts and disease factors

Studying the "knowledge of life"

Studying Ayurveda, the knowledge of life, is an immersion in the holistic aspects of the philosophy, anatomy, physiology and pathology of traditional Indian medicine. Ayurvedic science is not only presented from the classical side of ancient Indian thought, but also in a modern form for integration into everyday life.

Using a wealth of examples, basic Ayurvedic knowledge of doshas, dhatus, srotas, agni, malas and other aspects of specialist terminology is conveyed in a lively way, always with a practical reference to your own life situation.
Learn to look at life from an Ayurvedic perspective and gain a new approach to health, illness and yourself.

The basic course is the basis for further training at the European Academy of Ayurveda. It consists of the 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.
