This review is from: Ayurveda: The A-Z Guide to Healing Techniques From Ancient India (The Essential Healing Arts Series) (Paperback)
Nancy Bruning and Helen Thomas have done an excellent job of presenting Ayurveda. This book is easy to use and understand. They offer the concepts of Ayurveda in a simple and enlightening fashion. I especially like the daily lifestyle schedules, and the A-Z guide of various ailments. This book is a great start for everyone interested in Ayurveda and better health.

Curious about Ayurveda,
This review is from: Ayurveda: The A-Z Guide to Healing Techniques From Ancient India (The Essential Healing Arts Series) (Paperback)
Being in the Spa/Beauty industry Ayurveda is a word being used more frequently. I was unable to answer ques. about it when people would call the Spa I worked in and it was quite embarrassing. I bought this book, and it has helped me gain the knowledge to answer the ques. intelligently and sparked an interest to futher my education. It is a very interesting and educational read that I recommend to anyone who is new to Ayurveda.
