This book has been compiled to provide a practical help guide to those interested in following a healthy Ayurvedic lifestyle. With complementary therapies and esoteric philosophies becoming much more widely accepted and available in the west many people are interested in finding out more. However, whilst there is a wealth of information in the public domain, there is little in the way of sound, practical advice available to the lay person, especially in the field of Ayurveda. We hope this book will address some of these shortfalls and provide a practical basis for self-improvement.
