If you’re interested in the use of essential oils, then you’ll want to know more about Ayurveda, an ancient healing science from India that gives us a sophisticated understanding of essential oils and their effects on our physical and subtle bodies.

Ayurvedic practitioners have long married insights into the energetic systems of our being with practical wisdom on how our body functions.

These include cosmological energies such as agni (solar heat and metabolic fire), soma (cooling and moistening lunar influences), the pancha mahabhutas (five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space), prana (life force) and the gunas (sensory qualities and mental states).

Using these systems and concepts, essential oils are classified into broad categories of therapeutic functions, which allows us to easily understand the primary nature and impact of these oils so that we can apply them safely and effectively.
What Are the Right Oils for Your Energetic Type?

Central to Ayurvedic practice is a recognition that true health requires balancing your constitutional type, or “dosha,” with the right combination of diet, activities and specific remedies.

The primary doshas are vata, pitta and kapha, and there are 15 sub-doshas underneath those three. Each dosha requires a different approach to balance or support it in order to create the foundation for radiant health.

Understanding your personal constitution and the specific treatments to address and correct imbalances in your unique system results in enhanced vitality, a resilient immune system and calmer emotions.

Put simply, you feel and look better!

That’s because when you get out of energetic balance, your system becomes dis-harmonious and prone to disease and dysfunction. Something just feels “off.” You might become moody, sluggish, depressed or anxious, depending on your dosha type.

For example, vata types are prone to feeling ungrounded and cold, with flighty temperaments, unless they are properly balanced. Pitta types can get too fiery and emotionally unstable, whereas kapha types are prone to sluggishness.

Left untreated, imbalances in your energy system can sabotage your health and undermine your optimal performance.

That’s where essential oils come in. They offer one of the easiest ways to put you on the path to good health.

The aromatic substances in essential oils can have a profound effect on your body, emotions and mind, helping to trigger the brain and immune system to respond in specific ways.

There is now solid research that shows that aromatic compounds trigger our neurochemistry in specific ways, which then affects how our whole body relates to stressors.

Ayurveda illuminates how these effects are related to different constitutional types. The same oil might be aggravating to a pitta person or soothing to a kapha person.

This level of specificity enables you to customize your approach to healing and wellbeing. You can begin to diagnose HOW you are out of balance and apply specific, non-invasive essential oil remedies that revitalize and restore your natural health.
A Breakthrough in Healing on the Subtle Levels

In this exciting online program, Ayurvedic Aromatherapy, you have the chance to learn from David Crow, one of the most respected botanical medicine pioneers in the world, who will teach you how to approach healing safely and effectively with essential oils using Ayurvedic principles.

While we will study ancient remedies specifically from the East, we’ll also explore how to apply an Ayurvedic understanding to essential oils that were not even known in ancient India.

You’ll discover what’s important for each energetic type as well as how to receive the most benefit from specific remedies using oils such as rose, vetiver, sandalwood, agarwood, jatamansi, lentisque, dwarf juniper and helichrysum.

You’ll understand how to improve your concentration and memory, ground and calm yourself, heal your circulatory system, treat skin conditions, access higher consciousness and much more.

You’ll also discover how to reduce stress and promote deep and restorative sleep.

On a practical level, you’ll explore the safe topical and diffuser applications of oils as well as how to use aromatic baths, medicated oils, steam treatments and other therapies inspired by Ayurvedic methods.

We’ll also go beyond formulas to a much deeper, richer and more multi-faceted understanding of medicinal botanicals. In the modern West, we’ve been raised to think of plants as objects that exist chiefly for our pleasure and consumption. We use them to nourish our bodies and beautify our gardens and homes.

The truth is that plants, and the essential oils we derive from them, are so much more than that. They can help you evolve on many levels. They can detoxify your body, purify your mind, rebalance your emotions and reboot your energy. They can help you heal disease and expand your vision. Plants can also reveal to you an entirely different relationship with the natural world.

As you learn to open to the deeper blessings of plants through the wise use of essential oils, you can receive more of their healing and medicinal powers and put yourself on a path to higher consciousness.

Ancient healers and medicine men/women discovered many hidden aspects of the plant kingdom and passed down that knowledge in the Ayurvedic lineage. Now you can harvest the best of this healing tradition to create a new, expansive and natural approach to healing for your health and wholeness in David’s new 7-module program.
A New Paradigm of Relating to Essential Oils

Rather than sifting through and distilling an endless array of information on your own, you can take an online course with a master guide who has dedicated his life to exploring, classifying and documenting the practical, medical, psychological and spiritual powers of essential oils and how to safely use them in an Ayurvedic way.

He can guide you through the hype and misinformation common in this field. Science tends to view the esoteric healing lore of essential oils with skepticism, preferring the cold, clinical certainty of pharmaceutical drugs.

David has journeyed deep into the Ayurvedic tradition as well as the Chinese tradition and studied with masters the world over.

He’s deeply trained in spiritual practices as well as healing traditions, so he shows you not just what to take but how to have a wholly new relationship with essential oils derived from plants.

He’ll escort you across the threshold of an enthralling new world that empowers effective healing and nourishment of your body, mind and soul — and those of your loved ones.

You’ll never look at essential oils the same way again. When you choose to take this journey with David, you’ll gain a profound understanding that links biology, ecology and spirituality with a felt sense of connection with all of life.

Module 1: Essential Oils & Aromatic Plants in Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a richly fragrant medical system. Every aspect of treatment and therapy is infused with aromas, which are emanating mostly from the essential oil content of the herbal ingredients being used. It is these aromas (and flavors) that provide many of the therapeutic benefits one enjoys when using Ayurveda’s vast number of diverse preparations.

Module 2: Using Essential Oils According to the Pancha Mahabhutas (Five Elements)

Essential oils can be classified according to Ayurveda’s system of five universal elements of earth, water, fire, air and space. By understanding the predominant element or mixture of elements within an oil, we are better able to apply the oil therapeutically to balance these elements within ourselves.

In this module, you’ll:

Find out how to use essential oils, such as vetiver, that are rich in earth element for grounding and calming

Module 3: Using Essential Oils According to the Gunas (Mental & Physical Qualities)

Essential oils can be classified according to the three qualities of consciousness: sattvic (spiritual), rajasic (aggressive) and tamasic (dullness). They can also be classified according to Ayurveda’s system 10 opposite pairs of qualities, such as heating/cooling, drying/moistening and so on. Classifying oils according to their physical qualities and their effects on consciousness helps us understand and apply their therapeutic benefits.

Module 4: Using Essential Oils According to the Doshas & Sub-doshas (Biological Systems)

One of the most important ways to classify essential oils is according to the doshas, or constitutional body types. For vata conditions, oils that are warming, heavy, stabilizing, calming and strengthening should be used to help lubricate dryness and relax an overstimulated but fatigued nervous system. For pitta conditions, oils that are cooling, calming and relaxing can be used for counteracting inflammation as well as overheated and aggressive mental and emotional states. For kapha conditions, oils that are light, warm, stimulating, energizing, decongestant and expectorant are used to counteract slow metabolism, lethargy and congestion of fluid and phlegm.

In this module, you’ll:

Understand how the gunas (qualities) and elements of essential oils are related to individual body types
Discover the most important essential oils for calming vata, cooling pitta and decongesting kapha
Explore the Ayurvedic system of the 15 sub-doshas (five vatas, five pittas, five kaphas), and how essential oils can be correlated to each

Discover the wound-healing powers of essential oils such as frankincense

Module 6: Using Essential Oils for Increasing Prana & Ojas (Life Force & Nutrient Essence)

In this module, you’ll:
