Yoga, feng shui -- the trends of today are founded in the traditions of the past. So, too, Inner Beauty, a ravishing introduction to a trendsetting lifestyle practice with tried and true results. Revealing the natural health and beauty that lies within, it is based, like Deepak Chopra's work, on the 5,000-year-old Indian tradition of Ayurveda. Focusing on skin and hair care, yoga, detox, and eating well, Inner Beauty blends an inviting text with easy quizzes, informative charts, and lush photography and teaches that the way to a healthy glow is different for each of us, but easy to determine. Author Reenita Malhotra Hora, a spa consultant who has been practicing Ayurveda all her life, demonstrates how to make its benefits work for you -- whether it's through customized yoga routines, specific relaxation techniques, diet, or massage and beauty treatments perfect for individual needs. Combining all the expert advice, pampering, and inspirational guidance that the most luxurious spa retreat has to offer, Inner Beauty points the way to the health and beauty that comes from starting where it matters -- inside.

Little more than a coffee table book,
By Ayurvedic Skin Care Mama (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inner Beauty: Discover Natural Beauty and Well-Being with the Traditions of Ayurveda (Hardcover)
While this book has beautiful pictures on every other page, and cute little blurbs about doshas and skin care, it is really not a very informative book on ayurvedic skin care. A person who has never heard of ayurveda before may benefit from the basic information in this book, but to anyone who has read another book on ayurveda, this book will be a dissapointment. I much prefered Melanie Sach's book Ayurvedic Beauty Care, or Pratima Raichur's Absolute Beauty, which are both much more in depth. However, if you are looking for a beautiful, interesting looking coffee table or bathroom book, this would be a good choice.

Such an easy read,
By Mary Steebs "reader" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inner Beauty: Discover Natural Beauty and Well-Being with the Traditions of Ayurveda (Hardcover)
For the first time, a book that de-mystifies the complexities of Ayurveda! Reenita's clear and concise style makes for a great read-through as well as a handy reference. This one is a must-have. A great personal care and gift item too.

This review is from: Inner Beauty: Discover Natural Beauty and Well-Being with the Traditions of Ayurveda (Hardcover)
I enjoy the information this book gives me. The hair treatment for dull, frizzy lifeless hair really worked. No other products have delivered on their promise to make hair smooth, shiney and soft like this treatment.
