For more than 4,000 years, the people of India have looked to Ayurveda as a pathway to vibrant health and increased longevity. This ancient healing science is treasured as a gift from the Vedas (the world's oldest sacred texts). Ayurveda offers all people a practical way to achieve self-realization, a way that is based not on constantly changing data, but on the eternal forces of the universe.
On Ayurveda, you will learn how to apply this fascinating system for total wellness to your own life. Your personal instructor on this audio study course is Dr. Vasant Lad, founder of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Drawing from his work in both India and America, Dr. Lad leads you to a clear understanding of Ayurveda and its life-enhancing powers.
You will learn to see your mind, body, and spirit as a microcosm of the universe itself. The five elements present in all matter also exist in each individual. By learning the cosmic laws that govern these elements, you can strengthen and energize yourself—effectively and naturally.
From principles of self-healing and proper food combinations to the cosmic laws that unite all consciousness, Ayurveda makes it easy to explore this ancient healing art.

I listened to the cds on a road trip. Dr. Lad is an absolute joy to listen to... i found myself engrossed in the presentation, and by the end, ready to learn more about ayurveda.
This series of lectures is a very good introduction to Ayurveda. Dr. Lad is lucid and well-organized in his explanations.
The first four audio recordings give a very comprehensive overview of Ayurveda that improved my comprehension of it greatly.
The fifth audio recording is on relationships. I couldn't really comprehend what Lad was saying for the first 40 minutes but the remaining 20 minutes were insightful. (I'm not great at relationships).
The sixth recording is an excellent one on the Ayurvedic perspective of: conception, pregnancy, and post-birth advice. This one section alone may be worth the $19 I paid for these recordings (digital download).
If you're looking for advice on bumps, bruises, headaches, colds... you're better off with Lad's Ayurvedic Book of Home Remedies. If you want an excellent, comprehensive overview of Ayurveda; some relationship advice; and excellent pregancy advice. This audio series is definitely for you.
