Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, the language of Ayurveda, the name means “The Science of Life.” The Sanskrit language originated in India over 5000 years ago and is often called “The Mother of All Healing.” Ayurveda is not only a medical science but a science of life. It is also a holistic science and takes into account all components of life; mind, body, sense organs and soul. It is not only a healing art or medical system, but teaches the benefits of Yoga and exercise and the benefits and harmful effects of food.

Not only will students gain knowledge of herbs and strategies through Ayurveda but will know and understand the most difficult client and patient to heal, being themselves!
