This book is pure love...and information. If you want to learn more about Ayurveda, its techniques coupled with aromatherapy, this is the best book EVER. It also gives you tests to determine which of the three doshas you were born as, and which one you are now..and how to get back to the dosha you should be. It lists diets to follow as either a pita, vata, or kapha and how aromatherapy can enrich your life.
This book has a lot more about aromatherapy than ayurveda. It also mentions a lot of esoteric spiritual practices . At times I felt a little bit like the author was a bit like a sales person, but I might be wrong . Anyway all said , its a decent book to read to get a basic idea about ayurveda and aromatherapy.
Loved!! So much to learn and this book was just scratching the surface of traditional healing outside of western medicine. Lots of great resources and charts,etc.
i found this book at monroe street books in middlebury, vt just after i took an interest in ayurveda, it furthered my interest & i plan to go further with my study.
Weird book, I felt like they should have disclosed earlier that they sell these herbs. I felt like much of it was hard to believe/accept. I have yet to try it out.
