Foundations: Ten Essential Ayurvedic Herbs

Summer presents unique challenges for the skin, including heat, sun exposure, dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity. In this four-part recorded webinar series, you’ll explore how Ayurveda approaches summer skin care as part of a complete seasonal lifestyle that includes diet, daily routine, topical care, and herbal support.

You’ll learn how Ayurvedic principles explain the effects of heat, sun, and seasonal imbalance on the skin, hair, and nails, and why summer requires different care than cooler months. The series introduces traditional approaches to summer facials, gentle cleansing, hydration, and protection, along with discussion of herbs, nutrients, and topical strategies historically used to support skin resilience and comfort during warm weather.

The course also addresses seasonal care for hair and nails, helping you understand how internal balance and nourishment influence outward appearance. Throughout the series, emphasis is placed on prevention, moderation, and rhythm rather than reactive or aggressive approaches.

This class is well suited for individuals and practitioners interested in Ayurvedic, seasonal approaches to skin care that support comfort, balance, and vitality throughout the summer months.

Class Description

Ayurveda views the skin as an expression of overall balance, shaped by digestion, circulation, lifestyle, and seasonal influences. Summer, with its heat and intensity, places particular demands on the skin and requires thoughtful adjustment in daily habits. In this four-part recorded webinar series, you’ll explore traditional Ayurvedic approaches to caring for skin, hair, and nails during the summer season.

Across the series, you’ll learn how heat and sun exposure influence the skin’s condition and why Ayurvedic care emphasizes cooling, hydration, and protection rather than excess stimulation. The course introduces traditional perspectives on summer facials, topical care, and daily routines designed to maintain comfort and resilience while respecting the skin’s natural boundaries.

You’ll also explore internal support for summer skin, including dietary principles, herbal categories, and nutritional considerations traditionally associated with skin nourishment and seasonal balance. Attention is given to how these approaches support not only the skin, but also hair and nail health, reinforcing the idea that outward appearance reflects internal harmony.

The series blends classical Ayurvedic concepts with practical guidance that can be applied in everyday life. Rather than offering rigid prescriptions, the material encourages observation, seasonal awareness, and individualized adjustment. The overall focus is on supporting the skin through prevention, consistency, and alignment with summer’s natural rhythms.
