Ayurveda Demystified: For Optimum Western Living - Paperback

by Gayle Redfern (Author)

Introducing Ayurveda into Western living involves understanding a new language, new philosophy and new lifestyle, not an easy task. However as an instructor, I quickly discovered that the wisdom is worth pursuing; following this modified basic wisdom taught in the accompanying class became an easy task. As an instructor of the introductory Ayurveda class, I re-named the body's three energy flows based upon Ayurvcda Sanskrit terms. The Sanskrit terms -- Vata, Pitta and Kapha became the appropriate Western functions - movement, processing and storage. Ayurveda Demystified helps an individual identify their personal dominant energy flow. With this knowledge, they can look for and apply the best remedies or foods for a healthy body. The next step is a choice. Do they stay with this amount of information or expanding their knowledge?
