Balancing the Energetics of People and Herbs: An Introduction to the Three Doshas (The Ayurvedic Constitutional Types)
When we choose herbs wisely, we improve the balance of our unique constitution and avoid undue side effects. The Ayurvedic system of 3 Doshas is a basic, highly effective way of understanding ourselves. Pairing this understanding with an introduction to the energetics of plants helps us choose herbs that will give us maximum benefit. Participants will investigate their unique constitutional types (or combination of types), learn the fundamentals of herbal energetics, and explore lifestyle choices and specific herbs that restore balance to the Doshas. An understanding of the energetics of people and plants is critical to using herbs safely and well, and it is recommended before more advanced herbal study.
