October Workshop:

Menarche - Pregnancy - Menopause - Vaidya Ashlesha Raut

What is the hormonal dance that results in menstruation? How do we view this from an Ayurvedic lens? What doshas and dhatus are co-related to the female reproductive system?

Vaidya Ashlesha Raut will decode these for us and teach us how to analyze a female reproductive issue in a clinical setting from an Ayurvedic perspective.

Using real-life cases, we will walk the 3 phases of a woman’s reproductive life cycle by looking at 3 disorders in the following phases: menarche, pregnancy and perimenopause.
