This certificate course is created for health practitioners and coaches (contact us for exceptions) who work with women, and would benefit from a focused understanding of how healthy or poor menstrual health is affecting the lives of the clients and patients.
You may also sign up it you are curious for this information for yourself. (It helps, but is not required, if you have a foundational understanding of what Ayurveda is.)
Half the world’s population have experienced menstrual cycles. Break into the topic with us through the beautiful and holistic lens of Ayurvedic medicine which unveils, as it has for thousands of years, and emblazons the cycles of the female system. We will lay bare the approach and techniques which are used for the mending-flourishing of these cycles as vitally necessary.
