Spring 2020: Madhav Nidan: Advanced Analytical Criteria for Ailments

Madhav Nidan: Advanced Analytical Criteria for Ailments, is an in-depth approach to a major text of Ayurvedic study correspondences between Ayurvedic and modern descriptions of ailments.

Ayurvedic Analytical criteria for treatment of ailments is clearly and deeply brought together in the classical texts called Madhav Nidan, which are drawn from the three principle ancient Ayurvedic medical texts by Charak, Vagbhatt, and Sushrut. Vaidya Bharat carefully weaves wisdom from these three texts and other Ayurvedic materials to explain holistic tools and treatment principles of nidana, purvarupa, rupa, upashaya, samprapti and chikitsa for differential analysis within many ailments and conditions. 

Every topic is deeply practical and insightful. The approach we use in our classes supports practitioners in learning to “think Ayurvedically,” and serving their clients with wisdom and knowledge for their scope of practice.

The schedule allows time to digest this deep material, to study together and do independent study projects. Course completion includes assignments to be done between classes.
