Diploma in Ayurvedic Dietetics

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Diploma in Ayurvedic Dietetics is a specialized program designed to provide comprehensive knowledge of Ayurvedic principles and their application in the field of nutrition and dietetics. This course blends the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern dietary science, aiming to train professionals who can offer personalized nutritional guidance based on individual body constitution (Prakriti), seasonal changes, and lifestyle needs.

Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of diet not just for maintaining health, but also for preventing and managing various diseases. The Diploma program introduces students to the foundational texts and theories of Ayurveda, such as the concept of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), Agni (digestive fire), Dhatus (body tissues), and Ojas (vital energy). Alongside these traditional concepts, students will explore the properties of different foods (Rasa, Virya, Vipaka), dietary incompatibilities (Viruddha Ahara), and the therapeutic use of food in disease management.

This diploma is ideal for those aspiring to build a career in holistic health, wellness coaching, nutrition counseling, Ayurvedic healthcare, or the growing wellness tourism and spa industries. It is also valuable for yoga practitioners, fitness professionals, naturopaths, and healthcare workers who wish to integrate Ayurvedic nutritional knowledge into their practice.
