An Overview of Ãyurveda

Āyurvedic Medicine is the most ancient system of medicine known to mankind. It emerged within the Vedic culture that arose in the foothills of Himalaya and along the banks of the great rivers of India. It is based on the Vedic wisdom expounded by the ancient sages. Āyurveda is a science-based healthcare approach that treats illness and promotes wellness by focussing assessment on biochemically unique aspects of each patient, and then individually tailoring interventions to restore psychological, physiological and structural imbalances.

There has been a worldwide surge of interest in Āyurvedic medicine as people seek health and wellbeing. Āyurvedic medicine not only recognises the uniqueness of the individual but also the oneness of all creation and how this translates into human health on all levels.

The basic principles upon which Āyurvedic medicine/healthcare operates are:

Biochemical individuality based on genetic and environmental uniqueness•Dynamic balance of internal and external factors•Web-like interconnections of psycho-physiological processes•Health as a positive vitality – not merely the absence of disease•Promotion of organ reserve through psycho-neuro-immunological processes•Patient-centred rather than disease focused healthcare•

Using these principles, Āyurvedic healthcare practitioners focus on understanding the fundamental physiological processes, the environmental inputs, and the genetic predisposition that influence every

person’s experience of health and disease. A person is considered an integral part of the Universe which is governed by natural laws.

The College of Ãyurveda (UK)

The College of Āyurveda (UK) offers the most comprehensive curriculum in the field of Āyurvedic Medicine and Healthcare in the United Kingdom, based on the advice of the Dept. of AYUSH, New Delhi, India. The College of Āyurveda (CoA) was first established in 1997 under the aegis of the Āyurvedic Medical Association (UK), under the leadership of Dr. Mauroof M. Athique. In 2000, the CoA was registered as an educational institute by the Companies House, UK, and in 2005 the CoA developed a collaborative partnership with the Middlesex University, London. The College played a major role in the regulation process of Herbal Medicine (Ayurveda) initiated by the UK government. The College of Āyurveda is the premier educator for individuals seeking to make a difference in the world through a career restoring the natural balance of body, mind and spirit with the wisdom of Āyurveda. This mission has been the central driving force of the College since its inception. The College of Ayurveda brings the healing wisdom of Āyurveda to the West. The College is accredited by the British Complementary Medicines Association (BCMA). The College has been pioneering Āyurvedic education in France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, and Japan in addition to providing Āyurvedic practitioner-level programmes through the Middlesex University in London.

The College of Āyurveda recognises that a variety of educational formats are needed to meet the growing demands and different needs of the students. The College pioneers an innovative blended-learning

programme which is based on e-learning via the internet and class-room based tutori-als. We believe that this offers a wide variety of students the opportunity to learn Āyurveda at a distance and receive the same experience and credits similar to full-time education without sacrificing quality. The College offers a four-year programme for Āyurvedic Herbal Practitioners, which includes a 1000 hours of practical/clinical experience, part of which is completed in India.

The College’s blended-learning approach is a revolutionary programme that integrates home schooling, classroom education and one-to-one relationship with a Tutor who guides the students’ education. The curriculum is designed in such a way that at the end of each year, the successful student is awarded a competency certificate which would enable them to engage in practice. At the end of year 1the students are awarded the Certificate in Ayurvedic Massage, at the end of year 2, certificate in Ayurvedic nutrition and life-style counselling, at the end of year 3, the Diploma in Ayurvedic Healthcare and at the end of year 4, the Diploma in Higher Education (Ayurvedic Medicine).

One of the reasons the CoA’s Blended Learning Programme is so successful is that it is a highly structured yet flexible programme. This is not loosely-administered, open-ended programme that students may or may not complete. Completion rates are very high because the CoA maintains the highest standards of education for this programme. Fortnightly weekend tutorials, home schooling via the internet, and mentor-ship programme keeps the students motivated, connected and on target to reach their goals.
