Shantha Godagama - The Handbook of Ayurveda

Būklė - labai gera

Ayurveda, which means "the science of life", is a complementary therapy based on the ancient philosophies of India, providing a holistic approach to healing which assesses the individual and his or her lifestyle rather than focusing narrowly upon symptoms. This guide introduces readers to a complex body of knowledge in straightforward terms. It explains the principles of balance in the individual, structured upon the three energies (or doshas) of vata, pitta and kappa, and shows how the concepts can be applied. Advice on nutrition, exercise and lifestyle is combined with discussion of particular health problems, and their causes and treatments.
