The handbook of Ayurveda - Shantha Godagama

We all know someone who never seems to suffer from depression or ill health, or even a runny nose and it's not because they keep fit and eat the right things; but they seem to have an inner strength that allows them to cope with the pressures of modern life and maintain their equilibrium. Ayurveda means "the science of life" and it looks for the equilibrium in each individual. It is a holistic approach to healing. This handbook explains the complementary therapy in preserving personal well-being and vitality and provides an overall view of ayurvedic principles. Advice on nutrition, exercise and lifestyle are given, in addition to a step-by-step guide to the causes and treatments of specific health problems.
