5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent health guidebook, June 15, 1998

By	Peter Cascio - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book got me started on eating appropriately for my body type. My energy level began to increase once I stopped "poisoning" myself. I also gained insights into why I/my body acts the way it does. Thanks, Dr. Svoboda!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the 2nd edition!, September 12, 2005

By	T. Vincent (Golden, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The potential buyer/reader needs to know that "Prakruti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution" is the first edition. The significantly revised second edition is titled "Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution" (Prakriti with two i's, not Prakruti with a u). While it is instructional for the scholar to read and note the differences between the two editions, I recommend the second edition to the first time buyer/reader.
