Ayurvedic Wisdom on Pediatrics with Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath - 402

Regular guest Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath, also known as Dr. J, joins Colette to explore a topic that touches his heart and the hearts of many: how to raise healthy, resilient, and balanced children with the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda. Kaumarabhritya (Ayurvedic pediatrics) is one of the eight classical branches of Ayurveda. This ancient science offers guidance starting from preconception and sees the child not just as a developing body, but as a whole being, mind, body, and spirit, shaped by early experiences, daily rhythms, nutrition, and love. They discuss the following: What makes Ayurvedic pediatrics unique The importance of preconception, prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum care for both mother and child How to understand your child's unique constitution (prakriti) to support balanced growth and development Ayurvedic guidelines for the Kapha stage of life, from birth to puberty Insights into nutrition, sleep, behavior, and emotional wellbeing through an Ayurvedic lens How early experiences can influence a child's long-term health * Thanks to Kerala Ayurveda Academy for sponsoring this episode.
