| Summary |
"Well-known Ayurveda Expert Sahara Rose Ketabi explains Ayurveda in a contemporary way that hasn't been done before. Ayurveda is the world's oldest health system and sister science of yoga, originating in India 5000 years ago. It's the age-old secret to longevity, digestive health, mental clarity, beauty and balance that's regaining popularity today for its tried-and-trued methods. However, it's often been difficult for readers to fully grasp Ayurveda's intricate teachings ... Until Idiot's Guides: Ayurveda. Sahara revitalizes ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and illustrates how little changes such as timing your meals, incorporating practices such as dry-brushing, oil-pulling and tongue-scraping, eating the correct foods for your digestive type and practicing the right yoga and meditation practices for your unique personality will radically enhance your health, digestion, radiance, intuition and bliss."--Amazon.com. |
