Course Description
Hidden text
Once considered the deity of fire, Agni was the messenger of the Gods, the acceptor of sacrifice, taking offerings to the Gods. It is believed that all offerings and prayers are delivered to the Divine through fire. Likewise, in the human body, it is through Agni that all metabolic transformations occur, all thoughts are thought, and all organs and tissues are nourished. This course presents practical Ayurvedic techniques and remedies to preserve, cleanse, ripen, and strengthen one’s digestive and metabolic Agni. Herbs, spices, teas, fasting, and cleansing techniques included.
