Way of Ayurvedic Herbs

Description

The Way of Ayurveda tells us that Ashwaganda is for stamina and vitality … arjuna for the health … dandelion for breast wellness. Traditional Ayurveda, using the principles of the three doshas, constitutional body type and highly individualized therapies, is the oldest continuously practiced healing system on Earth. Over many centuries, generations of Ayurvedic scholars and physicians reviewed, inspected, dissected and refined the system to a highly effective form of health, balance and healing. Now, two leading Ayurvedic herbalists, leaders of the holistic health renaissance, have crafted a manual for making Ayurveda understandable and practically useful. The way of Ayurvedic Herbs is more than an herb manual. It is a life path to well-being.
