From the Publisher
Ayurveda, the
renowned health system of India and the ancient
world, has kept people well naturally for
centuries. Now it has been rediscovered by Western
health practitioners, and it is revolutionizing
our thinking about nutrition and disease
prevention.
Here at last is
an easy-to-read, lavishly illustrated book that
shows how it works. Rather than relying on
medication to cure ailments, as Western medicine
does, Ayurveda emphasizes daily nutrition habits
and physical routines for maintaining health so
that you don't get sick in the first place. You
will find out how to tell which physical type you
are (there are basically three) and then get full
information on the practical regiments that are
right for you.
You'll find ways
to diagnose and treat many conditions yourself
that might otherwise eventually require medical
attention. And specific treatments are given for a
variety of illnesses, with suggestions for daily
living, including nutrition, relief of stress, and
detoxifying environmental pollutants.
Everyone who is
interested in maintaining his health the natural
way will find intriguing ideas on every page.
