Hardcover Book: A Little Bit of Ayurveda - An Introduction to Ayurvedic Medicine

Deacon Carpenter. 128 pages.

Recognized as the "grandparent" of modern medicine and closely tied to the philosophy of yoga, Ayurveda empowers individuals to take charge of their health through a preventive focus rather than relying solely on medical intervention. This ancient system encourages practitioners to actively engage in their well-being by managing stress, embracing healing foods, and understanding which remedies suit their unique body/mind types.

A Little Bit of Ayurveda delves into the history, philosophy, and practical application of this timeless and pertinent system. It explores Ayurveda's impact on both Eastern and Western medicines, outlines the "five element theory" and the doshas, unveils how diseases manifest, and provides straightforward rituals for maintaining balance. These rituals range from seasonal eating and deep belly breathing to practices like dry brushing and tongue scraping. The book concludes with a quiz to facilitate an Ayurvedic self-evaluation, guiding readers on the path to wellness.
