The study of well-being is a study of one’s own life. At least, that is how Ayurveda courses have been designed. However, due to the institutionalisation of Ayurveda, this part of self-study has been forgotten.

The Fundamentals of Ayurveda help you learn how you came into being at first and what the purpose of your existence is. Further, it explains about the Vedas and how they have described the birth of creation itself.

You will learn about the five elements, their properties and how everything in creation manifests from the five elements.

We will explore how doshas are born in an unmanifest state and how Vata, Pitta and Kapha dosha manifest in the body.

We will also delve deep to learn about the upa-dosha (five types of Vata, Pitta and Kapha), their functions, and what influences their functioning.

Then, we explore hunger, digestion, how toxins are formed in the body and why diseases occur.

We will understand the various signs of ill health in the body and how to reverse them through diet.

Finally, we will have an overview of ayurvedic dietetics.
