Who are ayurveda therapists?
In India Ayurvedic physicians are called Vaidyas. They attend
formal, university level training and graduate with a college
degree. Often they come from a long line of Ayurvedic physcians,
from father to son for several generations. In the US and other
countries you will sometimes find Indian Vaidyas and these are the
best and most authentic Ayurvedic experts. However, there are
several Ayurveda schools in the USA that offer training,
certificates, and in at least one case, a formal college degree.
When considering an Ayurvedic therapist be sure to ask about their
certifications and degrees as there is a wide range of competency
amongst these practitioners.
