Ayurveda for children: three decisive steps on the way to healing and health

"Ayurveda for children: three decisive steps on the way to healing & health"

Chikitsa (treatment) in Ayurveda is basically divided into two areas: Prevention and therapy of imbalances. The ayurvedic specialty Bala Chikitsa thus includes all preventive as well as therapeutic approaches and strategies for people in the growth or Kapha phase of life. Ideally, early and appropriate preventive measures in childhood lead to the fact that health problems later in adulthood do not occur at all or less. In this lecture we will discuss three specific preventive measures from the field of communication, which - from an Ayurvedic or holistic point of view - can have both preventive and healing effects. The main focus is on the communicative treatment of children and young people. However, these measures can just as well be related to the interaction with the childlike parts in the adult, because Bala Chikitsa also includes on a psycho-emotional level the therapeutic work with the inner child.
