Rate this book
Ayurveda is a prehistoric medical practice originated in India that has found its way into alternative contemporary practices around the globe, applying herbal compounds that are often composed of up to 50 different plants and sometimes other substances - even metals, which made this whole health system become questionable, since the heavy metals included are toxic to the human body, but then laboratory experimentations have shown that its remedies can be fused into health care systems from the western hemisphere. These herbs are not only ingested orally but sometimes rubbed on skin externally. Ayurveda also prescribes oil massages and behavioral changes, which sometimes include psychological and philosophical approaches.

The core essence of the whole Ayurvedic system is to balance the health of a person in all directions; hence, diet upgrades are also recommended. Another keen aspect of Ayurveda covered in this book is the three doshas theory. This attempts to explain the differences in people and what is most suitable for who, what causes what, and what can lead to a relief from what. In very practical and applicable instances, Ayurveda is explained to its very core, with multiple highlights of the lifestyle directions that can be beneficial to every “dosha" type. With the practices in the field, the benefits cannot be underestimated because of the vast proofs of the efficiency and longevity over time, both culturally and even in the exported practice in different places around the globe.

Also, the art has evolved a lot over the years, from ancient practices to well documented modern techniques. It is of no doubt that the contents are more than just mere concepts. Generally, this book serves as a map through the terrain of Ayurveda in a way understandable by everyone.
