Twinkle Little Star: Pediatric Health from an Ayurvedic Perspective Part 1 - Sat, Oct 22, 9:30 - 11:30am
In this first webinar of a 2 part series, Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, founder and director of The Ayurvedic Institute, will explore the Ayurvedic approach to pediatric care by beginning with an understanding of all of the factors that impact the development of a fetus in the womb and can define the eventual Prakruti - unique doshic constitution - of our child.
We will explore ancient Ayurvedic texts and how they frame pediatric healthcare as a process that begins early, while the child is still in the womb, not waiting until after the birth of a child, and how certain factors can impact the experience of the pregnancy and ultimate ongoing health of both mother and baby.
