Ayurveda

Ayurveda (Sanskrit for -science of life-), a consciousness-based system of healing, is stepping up to close the gaps between thinking, knowing, feeling, and doing.

- Suggestions for daytime and nighttime routines and rituals for optimum balance to achieve harmony and to ward off disease.

- Tips to keep you ayurvedically-balanced as you age, including how to care for your body inside and out.

- A thorough description of the doshas, their characteristics, how they differ, and a questionnaire to aid readers into determining their dosha.
