The ancient holistic healing system of Ayurveda takes a whole-body approach to health. Originally developed in India over 5,000 years ago, today it is practised all around the world. Ayurveda's preventative approach to health works to address the root cause of mental, emotional and physical symptoms – through simple practices, recipes and rituals that you can integrate into your daily life. The Pocket Ayurveda offers an introduction to this incredibly complex world, and focuses on understanding the three doshas: vata, kapha and pitta. It will help you recognize your current Ayurvedic constitution and take steps to balance your doshas and feel better.
