Thank you NetGalley for this ARC。 I found this book to be so helpful as I am starting a health journey。 I loved the assessment to figure out my prakruti and vikruti。 I took ample notes and wrote most of the recipes in my recipe book。 This book was easy to understand， follow， and absorb。 I even recommended it to my book group since we are all on a health journey。 I’m so looking forward to putting these tips and recipes into practice。 I also loved the list of foods to avoid and those to embrace by Thank you NetGalley for this ARC。 I found this book to be so helpful as I am starting a health journey。 I loved the assessment to figure out my prakruti and vikruti。 I took ample notes and wrote most of the recipes in my recipe book。 This book was easy to understand， follow， and absorb。 I even recommended it to my book group since we are all on a health journey。 I’m so looking forward to putting these tips and recipes into practice。 I also loved the list of foods to avoid and those to embrace by season。 I’ve always heard to eat with the seasons， but I never knew why。 。。。more

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook。 I love any kind of book that talks about all natural remedies。 The cover is beautiful and I highly recommend。 I will be reading this book over and over。

Excellent Ayurveda reference book on healing common women’s health issues。 Easy to make recipes， along with a sample 3-day menu plan and seasonal food lists for each dosha。 Very few pictures。

I really enjoyed reading this cookbook and learning about Ayervedic cooking。 I really want to try and incorporate this more into my life， however the recipes provided do not really jive with my lifestyle as many of the ingredients are either hard to find or I don't keep them regularly stocked in my pantry， so I'd have to completely change my diet to incorporate them more。 I think I will incorporate the guides but look for recipes that will work better for my lifestyle。 I really enjoyed reading this cookbook and learning about Ayervedic cooking。 I really want to try and incorporate this more into my life， however the recipes provided do not really jive with my lifestyle as many of the ingredients are either hard to find or I don't keep them regularly stocked in my pantry， so I'd have to completely change my diet to incorporate them more。 I think I will incorporate the guides but look for recipes that will work better for my lifestyle。 。。。more

I’d like to start this off by saying I will be posting a more thorough review on my blog in the upcoming weeks as I want to truly dive into this cookbook and make these outstanding recipes and see the results for my own。 With that being said， it goes without saying but I’m in awe of the effort the author put into this book。 To call this a cookbook would be removing all of the soul inspiring qualities and hard work and research that went into this。 There are recipes， yes， but it’s so much more th I’d like to start this off by saying I will be posting a more thorough review on my blog in the upcoming weeks as I want to truly dive into this cookbook and make these outstanding recipes and see the results for my own。 With that being said， it goes without saying but I’m in awe of the effort the author put into this book。 To call this a cookbook would be removing all of the soul inspiring qualities and hard work and research that went into this。 There are recipes， yes， but it’s so much more than food and I am so inspired to go down this path further in study and in life。In the beginning of this book there’s a beautiful introduction to Ayurveda as well as several rubrics， one of which to help you determine your prakruti and the second your vikruti。 I think this and so much more is what makes this book extraordinary。 The author took into account how every body is different and our ailments show what we’re missing and in need of and even goes as far as to list options to better these ailments。Truly an outstanding read and I’m very thankful to have been a part of reading this for the author for free。 5/5 stars， I’ll be reviewing this further and I would easily purchase this for my own shelf and kitchen at home。 。。。more

This book opens with some good info on Ayurveda and its history。 The main focus of the book is on recipes， so for more information on Ayurveda itself， this would be a great companion to other books on the subject。 This is one to keep in the kitchen with cookbooks， to be able to whip up the suggested meals and/ or simply to reference certain foods to avoid or seek out depending on your dominant dosha。 The layout is clear and efficient， with ailments and issues separated into sections for easy ref This book opens with some good info on Ayurveda and its history。 The main focus of the book is on recipes， so for more information on Ayurveda itself， this would be a great companion to other books on the subject。 This is one to keep in the kitchen with cookbooks， to be able to whip up the suggested meals and/ or simply to reference certain foods to avoid or seek out depending on your dominant dosha。 The layout is clear and efficient， with ailments and issues separated into sections for easy reference。 。。。more

I received a review copy of the ebook of Ayurveda for Women through NetGalley and was very excited to learn the basic principles。 This book exceeded my expectations， but be warned， reading the charts on a small mobile device is difficult。 The print book must look amazing as the layout is crisp and easy to follow。 The concepts are well-explained and the recipes and lists are helpful and practical。 Thank you to the author for answering my questions about Ayurveda。 The format/design of the book rem I received a review copy of the ebook of Ayurveda for Women through NetGalley and was very excited to learn the basic principles。 This book exceeded my expectations， but be warned， reading the charts on a small mobile device is difficult。 The print book must look amazing as the layout is crisp and easy to follow。 The concepts are well-explained and the recipes and lists are helpful and practical。 Thank you to the author for answering my questions about Ayurveda。 The format/design of the book reminded me of the Whole30 volume。 So it may be a familiar style and easy-to-use book for people who have explored other health-related food books。 。。。more
