EXPLORING RAKTA VAHA SROTAS

The Channels of the Blood

Rakta Vaha Srotas - Channels related to blood circulation and its formation

Rakta Vaha Srotas is the channel involved in the production and transportation of the blood within the body. The flow of blood plays a crucial role in the delivery of fresh nutrients and oxygen, while also helping in the removal of waste products like carbon dioxide.

When this delicate internal system finds itself out of balance it can present as a number of disorders; including anemia, ulcers in and around the mouth, abscesses, skin rashes, and inflammation in various parts of the body.

In this webinar Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, founder and director of The Ayurvedic Institute, will unpack the particular imbalances that can present in the Rakta Vaha Srotamsi of the body and the signs and symptoms that indicate an imbalance may be occurring in the patient.

Vasant Lad will draw on his decades of clinical Ayurvedic experience, as he explores techniques and methods to manage Rakta Vaha Srotas disorders in yourself and your clients by using Ayurvedic herbs, dietary interventions, and lifestyle amendments to restore balance and health to these critical channels of the body.

What is a Srotas?

Srotas (srotamsi plural) is a channel within the body through which the essential elements of life flow - the dhatus, agni, malas, ojas, and prana - all move through these intricate networks from one part of the body to another.

The largest srota is the Maha Srotas or gastrointestinal tract (Maha meaning large or great). The smallest srotamsi can be found in the individual cells of the body that are porous - and through these Infinitesimal channels oxygen and nutrients can be absorbed and waste products expelled.

The srotamsi in the body act like conduits or roadways - transporting everything from blood, to air, to sensory information, to nutrients and waste. So come deepen your understanding of this beautiful, intricate, and important system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a webinar and an immersion?

A webinar is a once-off class that only lasts a few hours - hosted by Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, or one of our other amazing teachers, these lessons take a deep dive into a select topic.

Immersions are longer courses that combine a mixture of live content and prerecorded lessons and handouts. In these courses we explore how to live Ayurveda around a range of topics - like nutrition, yoga, women’s health, pediatric care, etc.

What if I have no background in medicine or Ayurveda? Do I need any background to understand the content in the Webinar?

Our immersions and webinars are intentionally accessible for anyone - even those relatively new to Ayurveda. Our webinars and immersions with Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, are the most advanced level we offer and will be best enjoyed by those with a basic understanding of the science of Ayurveda. The speaker may become more technical, but we always bring it back to the basics.

This means that even our recorded content has a high educational and experiential value. We price our recordings accordingly - and the listed price takes into account all the material you will get access to. For this reason we do not offer discounts on recorded content.

I heard there was a Facebook group. Is that still open?

Our social groups - often hosted as private Facebook groups - are only open during the live immersions. Our Ayurvedic practitioners and content creators are available in these groups to answer questions and direct the conversations. Due to our practitioners having to move onto other courses and immersions we have to close these groups 10 days after the immersion concludes. If you would like to experience the community aspect of the course we highly recommend partaking in a live immersion!

We do not offer Facebook groups for webinars - live or recorded.

I heard mention of a practice / herb protocol / books / technique in the content - where can I find out more information?

Please check all of the downloadable content in your course - often content creators have a number of additional learning resources available for download and will specify these details in these downloadable handouts.

If the content is mentioned in the presentation of the course and not included in the support materials you can reach out to us here: care@liveayurprana.com and we will see if we can help!

Alternatively, if you would like to explore a practice, herb protocol, or technique mentioned in the course but would like to learn more about it you can schedule a wellness consultation with one of our Ayurvedic Practitioners here. 

Can I meet the instructor/s for an Ayurvedic consultation?

If you would like to enquire about consultations with Vasant Lad - you can add your name to the waitlist here  - please note that we proceed down this list on a first come first served basis, but will access and prioritize severe cases.
