A Little Light, But Sometimes Just What You Need,
By
This review is from: Ayurveda Wisdom (Simple Wisdom (Conari)) (Hardcover)
This was the first ever book I read on Ayurveda, a life-style that has changed me drastically from the inside out in just a short two months. The book lacks a lot of depth, but is wonderful if you are just starting out, or want a friend or family member to learn more. It is very easy to read and understand and grasp the basic concepts of Ayurveda. Although I have read several other books on the subject, when I really need to focus on the basics, this is the book I turn too.
