Ayur-Vedic Mother-Baby Undergraduate Certificate

Offered By: Brandman University

The 14 credit undergraduate certificate in Maharishi Ayur-Vedic Medicine: Mother-Baby Health Care is designed for the registered nurse working with mothers and babies, or who wants to learn effective, natural approaches to prevention and treatment of imbalances as the basis of disease using elements missing from current nursing education.

Ayurveda means "the science of life" and comes from the ancient Vedic tradition of India, where it has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Centuries of neglect led to a decline in Ayurveda until 1980, when Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation®, gathered the foremost living exponents of Ayurveda to enliven this age-old knowledge in its completeness and original purity.

Maharishi Ayur-Veda® is the world's most ancient and complete science of natural medicine. It provides a wealth of knowledge and time tested therapies to promote health in both mind and body. The purpose of this certificate is to provide registered nurses with the knowledge and skills to assist women through pregnancy, post-partum, and the first year of an infant's life with a focus on disease prevention, maintaining a balance in life, the basis of good health, and providing a foundation for a healthy lifestyle for children and families. This can be used as an addition to current practice or as a home care treatment program for new mothers.
