Ayurveda has kept people well naturally for centuries. Now it has been rediscovered by Western health practitioners, and it is revolutionizing our thinking about nutrition and disease prevention. Here is an easy to read, lavishly illustrated book that shows how it works. Rather than relying on medication to cure ailments, Ayurveda emphasized daily nutrition habits and physical routines for maintaining health. You will find out how to tell which physical type you are and then get full information on the practical regimens that are right for you. You will find ways to diagnose and treat many conditions yourself that might otherwise eventually require medical attention. And specific treatments are given for a variety of illnesses, with suggestions for daily living, including nutrition, relief of stress, and detoxifying environmental pollutants. Hans H. Rhyner presents the Ayurvedic concept in classical style, outlining first the underlying philosophy, then moving on to the pathophysiological aspects, and with a discussion of the different therapies. The author explains the typology of the different constitutions. This is followed by an extensive discussion of nutritions including a commentary on what constitutes a healthy day in the life of a person. Everyone who is interested in maintaining one’s health the natural way will find fascinating ideas on every page.
