Classical Ayurvedic texts clearly explain how to identify the subtle disease conditions which a physical examination or other assessment techniques are unable to recognize.
We will cover the traditional Ayurvedic techniques as outlined in the Vedic texts in this 3-day weekend intensive training. You’ll join like-minded healers and Ayurveda students like yourself to hone your assessment skills and protocol development.
