The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies

Based on the ancient healing tradition from India that dates back thousands of

years, **The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies** offers natural

alternatives to conventional medicines and treatments with practical advice

and easy-to-follow instructions. A leading authority in this field, Dr. Vasant

Lad first explains the principles behind the science of Ayurveda, exploring

the physical and psychological characteristics of each of the three doshas, or

mind-body types--vata, pitta, and kapha. Once you have determined which type

or combination of types you are, Dr. Lad helps you to begin your journey to

the ultimate "state of balance" and well-being.

**The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies** is an invaluable guide to

treating common ailments and chronic problems with strategies tailored to your

personal needs based on your dosha. Dr. Lad explains why certain imbalances

often result in illness and shows you how to restore your body to natural

order. You'll learn which traditional Ayurvedic remedies--herbal teas and

formulas, essential oils, meditation, yoga--offer relief from a variety of

conditions, such as cold and flu symptoms, headaches, toothaches, sore

throats, high cholesterol, vision problems, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Lad

also shows you how to use diet and specific Ayurvedic techniques to prevent

future illness and to promote body consciousness and healthy living.

The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies enables us all to experience the

benefits of Ayurveda's healing properties that have been refined over

thousands of years. All of the herbs, foods, and oils Dr. Lad recommends can

be found in local health food stores or through mail-order catalogs. Complete

with an extensive glossary and resource list, this is the definitive guide to

natural, safe, and effective remedies, everyday keys to a lifetime of vitality

and well-being.
