Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Ayurvedic Cosmetology


Ayurvedic cosmetology is an interdisciplinary field that combines the ancient principles of Ayurveda with modern cosmetic science. This field focuses on using natural ingredients and holistic approaches to enhance beauty and skincare. If you are interested in pursuing a career in Ayurvedic Cosmetology, here's a general overview of course descriptions and potential career pathways.
