During this brief introduction to Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, we will discuss the idea that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the body, mind, spirit and senses. We will share the concept of Dosha or constitutional types that govern the psycho-physiological principals in the body.
We will explain Ayurveda’s approach to patient assessment and “diagnosis” via a simple case study. We will also briefly share how and why patients are turning to alternative care such as Ayurveda and how it can be implemented along side allopathic medicine to offer truly integrative health care.
