The meaning of the word “Ayurveda” is “the science of life”. Ayurveda is the oldest codified system of health and wellness in the world. In health care today the phrase “holistic medicine” is often talked about and treated as if a new and revolutionary concept. In the material you study during this course, you will learn that Ayurveda is not only the original holistic practice, but still views the individual in a more holistic way than any other practice used today. In Ayurveda, the physical, mental and spiritual are interactably linked, allowing the root cause of diseases to be revealed.

Even though the principles in Astrology can be used in any system, I find the Vedic system to be the most rich and detailed conceptually. In fact, the Vedic people themselves do not call their teachings “Vedic” or “Hindu”. The teachings from which we will start are actually called “Sanatana Dharma” - or “The Eternal Truth”.
Ayurveda believes that everything in this universe is made of five great elements or building blocks and these elements are earth, water, fire, air & ether.
Ayurveda looks at the physical structure of the body in terms of the tissues of the body (the Dhatus), the membranes of the body (the Kalas) and the channels which allow substances to be transported through the body (the Srotas). In this section we will examine the seven dhatus, the seven kalas and the seven srotas, and how they are related and work to form the structure of the body.
Ayurveda and Disease When considering the development of disease in the body, it is important to understand the three doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. How the Doshas increase and decrease in the body based upon a variety of factors can cause imbalances of the body.
