Ayurvedic Practitioner Certificate (Level II)
Overview
Originating in India thousands of years ago, Ayurvedic Medicine (or Ayurveda) has garnered increased attention and popularity in Western countries as patients and healthcare providers embrace more holistic and integrative approaches to health and wellness. This ancient healing system is based on the principle that three fundamental energies (known as doshas) govern all biological and psychological functions in the human body and mind. Ayurvedic practitioners are trained to identify imbalances in the doshas and to empower people to lead healthier, happier lives through diet, lifestyle, basic rejuvenating herbs and spices, body work therapies, basic yoga, and meditation practices.
This advanced program is for those who are already Ayurvedic Health Counselors and wish to deepen their competencies in Ayurveda clinical assessments and treatments. The program includes a strong emphasis on clinical practice and the understanding of Ayurvedic pathology, diagnosis, treatment planning, and herbal medicine.

UNIQUE INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION.
Most of today’s healthcare colleges offer an “interprofessional education鈥 through which students learn with, from, and about other disciplines. But at 性爱视频, we do it differently. Unlike other colleges, we teach you about both conventional and complementary disciplines鈥攏ot just one or the other鈥攂ecause we believe in both and we teach both, all under one roof.
AN INTEGRATIVE, WHOLE HEALTH APPROACH
All too often, healthcare providers “stay in their lanes鈥 rather than building comprehensive care plans that include other disciplines, professionals, and approaches. In addition, they look strictly at the physical body as opposed to all the factors that may be influencing a patient’s health and well-being鈥攇enetics, lifestyle, mental health, relationships, physical environments, community support, and beyond. But at 性爱视频, no matter what program you are in, you’ll learn to blend the best of conventional and complementary approaches (integrative healthcare) and to treat the entire mind, body, and spirit (whole health)鈥攆or true lasting wellness.
