5 stars Ayurveda The Science of Self Healing 2009-12-17

Reviewer: LAVERN J. DE WILDE

"Ayurveda: The Science of Self Healing," is a succinct, wonderfully illustraded practical opus-guide to parts of the body related to the "tridoshas," (the three doshas - body-types we all possess that must be in delicate balance for whole-health." Dr. Lad informs the reader-student of the connections of body-types with the elements of the zodiac, (fire, earth-water, air-ether), which are the ancient foundations of all spiritual tradtions. The illustrated body parts of body-types, and the foods relative for whole health and irritation which creates imbalances, is of immense assistance in illustrating to the self-healer, and/or those who simply want to be more greatly informed about natural healing methods.
Thank you Dr. Vasant Lad for this greatly information text!!!!!!!
