As we are a state licensed college, you do not need any additional testing or certification after graduating. This qualification allows you to assess a client's constitution (prakruti) and imbalances (vikruti), and offer guidance to restore balance using Ayurvedic diet, lifestyle and herbs.This course builds your knowledge from the ground up and is often the first course students take when starting in Ayurveda. It is an in-depth program that includes ALL of the fundamentals of Ayurvedic medicine theory, as well as extensive knowledge of Ayurveda's approach to specific diseases using herbs, diet & lifestyle.
