This intensive workshop will provide an in depth Introduction to the fundamental principles of Ayurveda and Ayurvedic Herbology. We will highlight Rasa (taste of herbs), the gunas (qualities of herbs), the Virya (Energetics), Vipak (Post Digestive effects) and Prahbav (special potency). While we will review Ayurvedic herbs, this course will emphasize how to work with Western herbs in the Ayurvedic tradition of harmonizing formulations to people's specific constitution and temperant.
