The system uses careful application of natural healing methods like herbs, minerals, healthy nutrition, music, massage, exercise etc.
The Ayurvedic healing system as it is being conveyed in this training is not connected with a certain religion or organization. The main issue will be the concept of Tridosha as well as the body types of Vata, Kapha and Pitta.
