Intro to Constitutions and Herbal Energetics

Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine and Western Herbalism all use constitutional types to explain patterns of disease. Some people, are susceptible to heat (irritation, overstimulation), others to cold (lack of function). Knowing types can instruct your health regimen and what herbs are best for you. This is a hot topic for those interested in holistic health!

In this two-hour class, we'll learn about the three Ayurvedic constitutions and the four humoral temperaments of Greek medicine. We'll take a few different simple tests to determine which constitution you are in both systems. We'll learn the elements and symptoms associated with each. Most importantly, we'll learn the qualities (hot, cold, dry, damp) associated with each, and which herbs are the most appropriate to balance them.

The class will be taught by Natalie H. of the Adiantum School.
