Summary
Ayurveda （Sanskrit for -science of life-）， a consciousness-based system of healing， is stepping up to close the gaps between thinking， knowing， feeling， and doing。 Idiot's Guides: Ayurveda focuses on the mind-body connection and explain that our experiences--including perceptions and lifestyle choices--are metabolized into molecules in our bodies and will help you make the most life-affirming choices for your optimal health and well-being。
The book includes:
- Ways to achieve and maintain long-term mental and physical wellness based on a unique combination of fundamental energies。
- Suggestions for daytime and nighttime routines and rituals for optimum balance to achieve harmony and to ward off disease。
- Tips to keep you ayurvedically-balanced as you age， including how to care for your body inside and out。
- A thorough description of the doshas， their characteristics， how they differ， and a questionnaire to aid readers into determining their dosha。

It was a basic manual about Ayurveda and great for beginners。 I was turned off by the body shaming and laughed when BMI was mentioned as an indicator of health。 It’s 2021 everyone should know by now how ridiculous that is。 I will research a book with more in depth info and hopefully less body shaming。

It was very informative。 Love some of the tips and information provided。 The diet is not something I would fully follow， but I can add some of the foods and spices into my foods。 Excellent resource。

A lot deeper than I was expectingI was originally thinking this would be a brief skimming of the ancient art of Ayurveda。 Not only is it a great introduction it combines the ancient parts of this science with how it can be incorporated into modern life。 I now count many of the techniques as part of my daily rituals。 Tongue scraping， dry brushing， self oil massage and paying attention to the foods and activities that work with my Dosha。 All of this has given me a deeper appreciation and understan A lot deeper than I was expectingI was originally thinking this would be a brief skimming of the ancient art of Ayurveda。 Not only is it a great introduction it combines the ancient parts of this science with how it can be incorporated into modern life。 I now count many of the techniques as part of my daily rituals。 Tongue scraping， dry brushing， self oil massage and paying attention to the foods and activities that work with my Dosha。 All of this has given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of my body。 I had been developing a conscious and deeper mind and neglecting to pay attention to the temple I spend all of my time in。 Thank you so much Sahara for this amazing gift of Ayurveda knowledge。🙏🏻❤ 。。。more

I found this book met all the claims it makes。 It’s simple， digestible and a great way to begin learning about Ayurveda。 Additionally， it’s organization makes it easy to reflect back on sections and review information I’ve consumed。 Again， a great beginners guide and jumping point to learn more about Ayurveda。

This is a straightforward， extremely informative book that will help anyone work through the multiple terms associated with Ayurvedic practices。 It certainly is a reference text since one will need to refresh oneself on the many details。

I think this was a good simple and easy to follow and understand introduction to Ayurveda and it’s basic core principles - for a beginner which I am。。。I’m sure there is much more to it and the rabbit hole and concepts taught go far deeper - but great starter educational book to begin ones journey in to the field of Ayurveda- especially if you are a newbie like me at the time of reading this book， but has provided me with a good understanding to proceed further。To Our Continued Success！Seemy http I think this was a good simple and easy to follow and understand introduction to Ayurveda and it’s basic core principles - for a beginner which I am。。。I’m sure there is much more to it and the rabbit hole and concepts taught go far deeper - but great starter educational book to begin ones journey in to the field of Ayurveda- especially if you are a newbie like me at the time of reading this book， but has provided me with a good understanding to proceed further。To Our Continued Success！Seemy http://www。WaseemMirza。net 。。。more

Absolutely loved this book。 Sahara took traditional Ayurveda and made it accessible to those in modern day cultures。 I can't wait to see what else she writes！ Absolutely loved this book。 Sahara took traditional Ayurveda and made it accessible to those in modern day cultures。 I can't wait to see what else she writes！ 。。。more

Incredible bookThis was truly the first book to introduce me to the Ayurvedic world。 I found everything so practical。 Sahara is an incredible writer and is able to present the information in an easy to understand way。 I would recommend this to everyone looking for a practical way to become healthier in every facet of your life。

This was a good beginner's guide to ayurveda for me。 The beginning sections seemed redundant though and overall it becomes confusing as to what diet and/or oils to use when someone is Vata but has some Kapha ailment。 I think in the end， like anything else， it's about balance。 Many of the ingredients in the diet aren't items I enjoy eating such as beans and lentils so it wouldn't be practical for me。 However， I will try out tongue scraping， oil pulling and oil massages more often。 I recently lear This was a good beginner's guide to ayurveda for me。 The beginning sections seemed redundant though and overall it becomes confusing as to what diet and/or oils to use when someone is Vata but has some Kapha ailment。 I think in the end， like anything else， it's about balance。 Many of the ingredients in the diet aren't items I enjoy eating such as beans and lentils so it wouldn't be practical for me。 However， I will try out tongue scraping， oil pulling and oil massages more often。 I recently learned about the double cleanse method in skincare， using an oil cleanser （similar concept of like likes like and will pull sunscreen or makeup off easier） followed by a gentle cleanser， so the theory behind oil pulling makes some sense from a scientific perspective。 It seems as if oil is used for everything though， including nose， ears and eyes。 Not sure how many of those practices I would try。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book， however I found it slower to read than I thought。 Much of the content about Ayurveda was review for me until I got to the middle of the book。 I was looking for more ways to adjust my daily schedule and eating habits。 I think I have found some new tips to help create balance in my life

An enjoyable and informative readI appreciated the simple break down of what Ayurveda is all about and the Doshas and energy systems as well as some cool recipes and ideas for getting and staying balanced

¡Excelente！ Hacia la segunda mitad del libro se vuelve un poco más pesado porque conecta los doshas con otros conceptos， pero el final del libro es muy práctico y directo。 Es un excelente libro para iniciarse en ayurveda， pero sí creo que es necesario profundizar más posteriormente en otros temas。 Las rutinas de mañana y de noche， así como algunos consejos sobre mi dosha me han hecho sentir mucho mejor últimamente。 Aunque no te lleves mucho del libro， lo poco con lo que te quedes es muy útil。 Mu ¡Excelente！ Hacia la segunda mitad del libro se vuelve un poco más pesado porque conecta los doshas con otros conceptos， pero el final del libro es muy práctico y directo。 Es un excelente libro para iniciarse en ayurveda， pero sí creo que es necesario profundizar más posteriormente en otros temas。 Las rutinas de mañana y de noche， así como algunos consejos sobre mi dosha me han hecho sentir mucho mejor últimamente。 Aunque no te lleves mucho del libro， lo poco con lo que te quedes es muy útil。 Muy recomendado。 。。。more

Inspirational and insightful。 The author’s straightforward style makes this an easy， instructive guide。 Reading this gave me a great overview， but I will continue to use it as a reference as i practice Ayurveda。 Clearly， this is a go-to reference for everyone。
