Go beyond symptoms and discover how Ayurveda explains why the body turns against itself.

Autoimmune conditions are often treated as isolated, mysterious malfunctions of the immune system. Ayurveda offers a different lens, one that sees these conditions as the result of deeper imbalances across the body, mind, and digestive fire. Join world-renowned Ayurvedic physician Vasant Lad for a focused, clinically grounded exploration of autoimmunity through the classical Ayurvedic paradigm.

What we will Explore Together

The Ayurvedic paradigm of autoimmune disease - physical, physiological, and psychological dimensions

How Hashimoto's thyroiditis develops and presents through an Ayurvedic framework

The Ayurvedic understanding of Lupus erythematosus and its underlying imbalances

Rheumatoid Arthritis as seen through doshic and tissue-level (dhatu) analysis

This Webinar Is For You If…

  • You live with, or care for someone with, an autoimmune condition and want a deeper framework for understanding it

  • You want to understand the concept of ama and its role in chronic disease

The Ayurvedic View of Autoimmune Disease

In conventional medicine, autoimmune conditions are classified by which tissue or organ system the immune system mistakenly attacks. Ayurveda approaches the same conditions from a different starting point - asking not just what is happening, but why the body has arrived at this state of confusion and self-attack.

At the center of this inquiry is the concept of ama, a sticky, toxic byproduct of improperly digested food, emotions, and experience. When ama accumulates and circulates through the body's channels (srotas), it can lodge in tissues, obstruct healthy function, and confuse the body's intelligence, setting the stage for the kind of internal conflict seen in autoimmune disease.

In this webinar, Dr. Lad will walk through this paradigm in depth, then apply it directly to three commonly encountered conditions: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Lupus erythematosus, and Rheumatoid Arthritis -  examining the physical, physiological, and psychological threads that Ayurveda sees as interconnected in each.

Testimonials

Silke Zimmermann

I’m very glad I found Ayurprana on the Internet and having the possibility to study online with a wonderful team of great practitioners. This wonderful team at Ayurprana is doing an amazing job in teaching Ayurveda with their hearts.

I am glued to Dr. Lad's lips when he’s sharing all his wisdom and knowledge about Ayurveda. I had doubts about doing a massage seminar online and whether I would learn anything, but the classes are designed in a way that you can ask a lot of questions. 

The replays can be watched over and over again, and you ask a friend at home to act as your massage client.  


Certainly a life classe is always the better choice, but Dr. Lad gives so much insight into his knowledge and answers any question even beyond the Marma points. 

I put the knowledge directly into practice and quickly received positive feedback from my clients.

Amanda Adams

What first piqued my interest in Ayurveda was an introduction I received in David Winston's 2-year Clinical Herbalist class. I then went on to read Dr. Lad's book "Ayurveda the Science of Self-Healing" and what really drew me in were your YouTube videos of "The Journey Within." Listening to Dr. Lad chant fills me with wonder, brings me to tears and makes my soul feel like it's being called home. The amount of meaningful content is staggering and I am so blessed to have found you all! I have been dipping my toe with Ayurveda for just over a year now and I have met and exceeded my goal weight with the help of your cleanses and yummy healthy recipes! I want you all to know that you have made a huge impact on my life and my heart is with you! Thank you, a million times, for making Ayurveda more accessible and understandable.❤️ 

Vishal Prajapati

This was amazing course. I have been practicing spiritual practices of Sadhguru and may I got to know about Dr Lad when there was a talk between the two. I have been following Ayurprana+ & Dr. Lad since then. I am always impressed when I get to know more about this ancient knowledge. I think there is no difference between Yoga and Ayurveda. I would like to continue this journey and keep learning about Ayurveda. Hope I can be part of your team in some ways.

Their commitment to compassion and healing radiates not just through the depth of knowledge but the vitality of the culture and community around it.
