Ayurvedic Practitioner Training

Notice

Physiotherapists, licensed massage therapists, health consultants, nutritionists, and skin care technicians are trained to execute prescribed Ayurvedic treatments correctly and to offer dietetic consultation successfully. The Ayurveda Practitioner Program, however, does not automatically licence one to practice general medicine — students will have to consider the local regulations. This program transmits the required knowledge and skills of an Ayurvedic Practitioner, but not the official legitimation to practice Ayurveda as a healthcare professional.
