Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurveda or the knowledge of life is the ancient medical wisdom of India which dates back to more than 5000 years. Efficacy of the treatments and the simplicity in the theory of Ayurveda , it is getting world wide recognition and popularity. But the vast and complete nature of Ayurveda requires systematic training based on traditional theories as well as clinical practice. A student at one of the 220 Ayurveda colleges - universities of India must study 9 semesters and spent a year as house-surgeon at a university hospital before being certified as Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery (B.A.M.S). He or she can take up a postgraduate study in one of the 8 specialties of Ayurveda that exists since well over 5000 years. More over the most original books on Ayurveda is written in Sanskrit which is not a spoken language. So most of the colleges are teaching in their regional languages. For a westerner there are a lot of hurdles to get a seat in the Indian medical colleges and also to understand the languages. Keeping this in mind, Ayurveda -care is organizing a 10 weekends certificate course in Ayurveda under the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor from India.
