Ayurveda for Life is a practical guide for using Ayurvedic concepts to nourish the body, nurture sexuality, and balance body and mind for healing. Dr. Verma explains how the food you eat-and how you prepare it-relates to both sexual energy and healing. This book contains dynamic material; how to use spices, just-plain-good vegetarian recipes, and some very special aphrodisiacs, all brought together with Dr. Verma’s own balanced, professional, but vibrant voice. Shiw explains the three humors (vata, pitta and Kapha) in relation to the qualities of mid (Sattva, rajas and tamas) and the importance of balancing these qualities for good health and sexual fulfillment. Food can also be used to correct sexual problems. Dr. Verma teaches how to channel mental, spiritual, and sexual energy into healing energy. If you want to live a sensuous and emotionally fulfilled life, her philosophy of a gentle but joyous compassion for all life will surely be an inspiration! This book has been already published in various European languages, in American English and in Hindi, and is very famous abroad. It is particularly popular because of its simplicity and teaching what we may call ‘grandmother’s tradition’.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Vinod Verma
Dr. Vinod Verma assimilated yoga and Ayurveda from her father and grandmother. She earned a Ph.D. in Reproduction Biology from Panjab University, Chandigarh and a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from the University of Paris (old Sorbonne). She got her training in Neurobiology from the prestigious National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA, and worked at the Max Planck Institute in Freiburg, Germany. At the peak of career with a pharmaceutical company in Germany, Dr. Verma realized that the modern Western approach to health is fragmented, illogical and uni-dimentional (non-holistic). The mental and spiritual aspects are lacking and all our resources are put in curing diseases rather than trying to stay healthy. She returned to her traditional past, studied Patanjali and other texts on yoga and learnt the scriptural tradition of Ayurveda from her Ayurvedic guru, Acharya Priya Vrat Sharma. A Scientific Exposition of Patanjali’s Yogasutras was her first book that she began writing in 1986 and after years of research, this book was published in 1996. She has written seven more books on yoga, Ayurveda and Women’s health and these books are published in different languages of the world. Dr. Verma founded The New Way Health Organisation in 1986 to spread the message of holistic health care and spiritual living. She is totally dedicated to revive the spiritual tradition of yoga and integrate it with Ayurveda for health and healing. She hosts seminars, lectures and workshops and has been interviewed on TV and radio programmes all over the world. She has made a film on Ayurveda in collaboration with German television and this film has been shown in 130 languages in 100 different countries. She has also numerous scientific papers published in international journals.
