Ayurvedic Treatment of Children

Description

🗓 9th & 10th June 2026 | 📍 Artemis House | ⏰ 10am – 4pm

This workshop is an opportunity to explore the Ayurvedic approach to the care and treatment of children from birth to teenage, known as baala chikitsa. The key to a child’s health lies in understanding their constitution, prakruti, and how to keep it in balance through diet and lifestyle. Drawing on classical Ayurvedic principles, we will discuss common childhood problems and their management through the right diet, lifestyle, herbal support and rasayana therapies. Emphasis is placed on age-appropriate, gentle interventions that strengthen ojas, support digestion and nervous system development, as well as promoting long-term resilience and wellbeing.

What We’ll Cover

• Understanding the doshas in childhood, how these shape a child’s temperament, preferences and development, as well as tendencies to certain health problems
• Understanding how the doshas affect behaviour such as sleep patterns, eating habits, emotional responses and activity levels
• Supporting agni, digestion and immunity (ojas) in children
• Preventative care, how to enhance resilience, confidence and wellbeing throughout childhood
• Common childhood problems and their Ayurvedic management
• Age-appropriate use of diet, lifestyle practices, herbs and rasayana

More Info

The Ayurvedic Continuing Study Workshops are open to people who have some previous knowledge of Ayurveda and offer an opportunity to focus on one specific topic for the whole of a two-day workshop.

Each workshop is limited to a maximum of 15 participants and places are allocated on a first come, first served basis. These are in-person workshops only, with no additional online content, although some topics may be supported with handouts.

These sessions are designed to deepen your understanding and application of Ayurvedic principles, building on the knowledge you’ve already gained and helping you translate it into practical, everyday actions.

The workshops are held at Artemis House in the Cotswolds, where we have a beautiful herb garden with over 150 medicinal plants, laid out in a spiral representing a journey through a woman’s life, expressed through herbs.
