Essential Ayurveda

Good book of Ayurveda

I love this book because I always had my mom telling me to to like drink warm water. Take shower once a day. This book gives me the backing as to why those things make sense

Een goede Introduktie van Ayurveda. Je krijgt inzichten dat Ayurveda niet ingewikkeld hoeft te zijn en op alle vlakken werkt zowel fysiek en mentaal. Its a way of life. Het zorgt ervoor dat het lichaam zo lang mogelijk gezond blijft

Incredible book by an incredible writer! Really insightful read and beautifully written. Perfect for anyone interested in getting into the ancient science of Ayurveda.

I knew a little bit about ayurveda before I read this book, but I couldn't have picked a better book to introduce me to it in more detail.

This book is a very basic, very essential introduction to Ayurveda. It is very well organised into the different segment of life (foods, exercise, beauty, mental well-being etc), but the style is narative, it takes you along as if on a journey. At one point you will find yourself in an Indian kitchen, smelling the spices and the vegetables, and imagining the colours, sounds and the surroundings of an Indian family eating breakfast. I've implemented almost to the letter and sometimes with scepticism the advice of the author and after 6 weeks, our life (family of 6 with baby and small children) has truly changed and improved in all spheres (physical health, happiness, pleasure in smaller things, less materialistic etc). Now we are ready for more books and research on the subject, the book is a great spring board for it.
