Description
Ayurveda, the medical system of India for 6,000 years, may be the oldest medical tradition that still practiced today. This book translates the Eastern wisdom into terms and concepts that Westerners can understand and benefit from. Ayurvedic medicine promotes physical and mental health by targeting threats from stress, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity. Practical guidelines for maintaining health and correcting imbalances are provided. In the chapter on Anatomy, three major body types are described with treatment strategies for each type.
