The course has a special emphasis on herbal medicine, using western as well as Indian herbs, providing an accessible model for treatment in the West. It explains diet and food in great detail as well.

The course adds to these physical modalities a higher dimension of Yoga and Ayurvedic psychology, showing an integral mind-body approach that includes spiritual and psychological methods, with colors, aromas, gems, asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation.

There is almost no aspect of life that the course does not address in a practical way for healing and transformation. It contains the main material covered in most two year Ayurveda classroom programs in the West. It is not merely introductory but goes into great depth into its subject and will remain as an excellent reference guide for the student for years to come.

The course is designed for Health Care Professionals as well as serious students of all kinds.

It has been taken by Doctors, Chiropractors, Nurses, Acupuncturists, Herbalists, Massage Therapists, Yoga Therapists, and Psychologists. However, there is no required medical background for those wishing to take the course and many non-professionals have completed it successfully.

The course qualifies a person to function as an 'Ayurvedic Health Educator'.
