Drawing on 30 years’ experience. For the Ayurvedic medicine of tomorrow.
For three decades, I have been practising and teaching Dravyaguna, the classical Ayurvedic science of pharmacology. Throughout this time, one question has constantly been on my mind: how can we preserve the extraordinary knowledge of Ayurveda whilst at the same time meaningfully expanding it through the insights of modern science?
With this specialist training course, I am bringing to life an idea that has been maturing over many years. Together with two outstanding experts, we are combining classical Ayurvedic pharmacology, Western medicinal plants, modern phytotherapy, orthomolecular medicine and research into marine natural products in a way that is unprecedented at our academy.
Three lecturers - three perspectives
Traditional Ayurvedic medicine boasts an extraordinary wealth of medicinal plants, remedies and formulations – underpinned by a sophisticated body of knowledge, dating back thousands of years, concerning their properties and effects.
Modern scientific phytotherapy opens up new perspectives on plant-based active ingredients and their pharmacological properties. On this basis, Western medicinal plants can also be interpreted from an Ayurvedic perspective and incorporated into integrative formulation concepts.
In addition, orthomolecular medicine and research into marine natural products broaden the range to include vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids, enzymes, co-enzymes and bioactive substances derived from algae.
Drawing on 30 years of practising and teaching Ayurvedic pharmacology, something extraordinary is taking shape here: For the first time, we are bringing together classical Dravyaguna, modern scientific phytotherapy, Western medicinal plants, Rasa Shastra, orthomolecular medicine and research into marine natural products in a single specialist training programme.
A partnership that opens up new horizons, broadens familiar ways of thinking and leads Ayurvedic medicine into the future in an inspiring way.
You will learn to understand herbal medicines, traditional formulations and modern micronutrients in a nuanced way – in terms of their properties, mechanisms of action, scientific evidence and potential applications – and to classify them on a sound professional basis.
