Women’s Health Through Ayurveda Pt. 2
In the second installment of our Women’s Health Through Ayurveda webinar series with Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, we will leverage our learnings from the previous week and begin exploring common diseases that can afflict the female-sexed body, along with their complementary chikitsa - a Sanskrit term, broadly defined as 'therapy,' but also interpreted as the application of consciousness or caring.
According to Ayurvedic thought, all ailments and diseases (mental, emotional, or physical) take hold in the self when one’s Prakruti - our ideal constitutional state as defined by our doshas - comes out of balance. If we understand this unique balance in ourselves, we instantly become empowered to proactively heal and support ourselves.
Through the lens of Ayurveda we can reacquaint ourselves with our personal health, and come to a deeper understanding of our own bodies and become empowered to support ourselves in our day-to-day wellness.
In the second webinar in this 2-part series, Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, will embark on an overview of major imbalances that are experienced by female-sexed bodies in the modern world like: menorrhagia (profuse bleeding during menses), amenorrhea (decreased or lack of menses), dysmenorrhea (painful menses), PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), and endometriosis.
After this webinar you will be empowered to understand these common disorders through an Ayurvedic lens and walk away with some common treatments, therapies, and support for any individual experiencing these imbalances.
Moving Towards Harmony
According to the ancient healing science of Ayurveda you were born perfectly. At the time of your conception, a variety of factors come into play to create the unique being that you are. Your unique make-up is still a combination of the 5 elements of Ether (space), Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
Each of these elements is represented in the 3 doshas - Vata (ether and air), Pitta (fire and water) and Kapha (water and earth). You are a unique combination of these doshas - and this ideal state of personal balance is called your Prakruti - defined as “the original or natural form.”
In Ayurvedic practice we are often working to rediscover and maintain this harmony because when our doshic make-up is out of balance we become prone to disorders and ill health. We call our current state Vikruti - and depending on the imbalances we are experiencing, we can be left open to certain disorders or diseases. Vikruti can be translated from Sanskrit as 'after creation’ - since after the moment of conception, our biological constitution becomes subject to the influence of our experiences and environment.
Ayurveda can be described as a knowledge-based system that allows us to be proactive and preemptive in our own health and care. By knowing our prakruti and understanding our vikruti we can then begin to incorporate specific practices and lifestyle interventions that will support us in our rediscovery and return to harmony.

You are a medical or healthcare professional interested in learning how certain Ayurvedic techniques and methods can further support your clients or patients.
Please note: In the live Q&A section of the webinar it is not possible for Vasant Lad to answer all the questions shared, so our moderators select those questions that have application to the wider audience, and only questions related to the topic of the webinar will be considered. Thank you!
