Topics covered during the seminar
|
|
Introduction to the Ayurvedic healing system
The Ayurvedic
healing system has its origins in India and has been practiced for thousands of
years. The final goal is perfect health, not just getting rid of sickness.
The system uses careful application of natural healing methods like herbs, minerals,
healthy nutrition, music, massage, exercise etc.
The Ayurvedic healing system
as it is being conveyed in this training is not connected with a certain religion
or organization. The main issue will be the concept of Tridosha as well as the
body types of Vata, Kapha and Pitta.
Ayurvedic massages
Along with the introduction to the Ayurvedic system through an ayurvedic doctor
you will mainly learn the important Marma Massage. This special massage works
on energy spots and meridians, similar to acupuncture. Additionally you will be
introduced to Shiro Dhara-massage and Pizhikil-massage.
Additional
topics
Nutrition, preperation of a herbal medicine, pulse-diagnosis and
Indian astrology.
Ayurvedic herbs
Along with massage, enhancing
the overall quality of our way of living and healthy nutrition, the Ayurvedic
herbs and medicines play an important role in the Ayurvedic health concept. Not
a single herbal essence, but the plant as a complex system. A certified botanist
will introduce you to the ayurvedic botanical system.

such a way that you can start every two weeks in the months of July and August each year.
