Introduction To Ayurveda: Pt 1: Qualities, Elements & Doshas

This is the first of a three-part series exploring the fundamental concepts of Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurveda developed in India 5-10,000 years ago and is the oldest written system of medicine and healing in the world. In this first part, we look at the basic principles that underly all Ayurvedic theory and treatments: the principle of opposite qualities, the five elements and the three doshas.

If you've enjoyed this topic and are ready to dive deeper, my course 'Ayurveda: Healing Through the Senses' expands on this information along with guided meditations and exercises to help you to connect the concepts with what you experience in your body and in your environment, so you may enjoy listening to that one too.
