Self Support Women’s Health Through Ayurveda

In the second installment of our Women’s Health Through Ayurveda webinar series with Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, we will leverage our learnings from the previous week and begin exploring common diseases that can afflict the female-sexed body, along with their complementary chikitsa - a Sanskrit term, broadly defined as 'therapy,' but also interpreted as the application of consciousness or caring.

According to Ayurvedic thought, all ailments and diseases (mental, emotional, or physical) take hold in the self when one’s Prakruti - our ideal constitutional state as defined by our doshas - comes out of balance. If we understand this unique balance in ourselves, we instantly become empowered to proactively heal and support ourselves.

Through the lens of Ayurveda we can reacquaint ourselves with our personal health, and come to a deeper understanding of our own bodies and become empowered to support ourselves in our day-to-day wellness.

In the second webinar in this 2-part series, Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, will embark on an overview of major imbalances that are experienced by female-sexed bodies in the modern world like: menorrhagia (profuse bleeding during menses), amenorrhea (decreased or lack of menses), dysmenorrhea (painful menses), PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), and endometriosis.  

After this webinar you will be empowered to understand these common disorders through an Ayurvedic lens and walk away with some common treatments, therapies, and support for any individual experiencing these imbalances.
