Ayurvedic Healing. The course presents in detail Ayurvedic methods of constitution balancing and treatment of common diseases. These methods include diet, herbs, aromas, oils, gems and mantras, as well as lifestyle counseling.

Ayurveda is concerned with eight principle branches of medicine: pediatrics, ophthalmology, obstetrics, geriatrics, gynecology, otolaryngology, general medicine and surgery. Each of these medical specialties is addressed according to theories of the five elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth); the tridosha, or three bodily humors; the seven dhatus, or body tissues; three malas (urine, stools, sweat); and the trinity of life; body, mind and spiritual awareness. The course presents a basic overview of Ayurveda, including techniques of examination, diagnosis and treatment; promotion of longevity; the use of herbal remedies and other practical everyday aspects of maintaining health.
The course consists of 13 credits. Tuition fee – $915
