Ayurveda made simple

This book was recommended (prescribed) by Mary Jo Cravatta, my ayurvedic physician. The book covers a lot of ground, from the basics of ayurveda, to practical elements such as diet and basic yoga exercises, abhyanga daily massage, and the ever-important daily routine. The book has been invaluable in helping me understand my specific imbalance, and how to practically address this. I have made phenomenal improvements with my digestive problems and numerous other ailments. Ayurveda is not about a quick fix, like fixing a broken machine. It addresses the whole body as, well, an ecosystem, taking account of environment, physical body, mental body, and spiritual body. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a persistent chronic disease. You will discover that the body is always trying to maintain balance & equilibrium with its environment, like all things in nature. It is the lifestyle, habits, and daily choices that brings us out of balance over time.

Ancient remedies for today's need for body & mind healing!

It is an amazing book. Simple and well understood language is been used. It consists a possible solution for the many of us who seek an answer to the stressfull way we all live today. It suggests healing methods for the whole human existance: body, mind and spirit.

FASCINATING MATERIAL

One man's view:
I always enjoy Chopra's notions and his integration of higher truths - he even goes so far as to quote Rumi, one of the true greats. The author gives us a sense of the possibilities for a long, long life. And spiritual love. I'd also suggest comparing D. C. to Paul Twitchell's Herbs, the Magic Healers. I find Twitchell more deeply insightful and refreshingly unorthodox. Also P. T. in The Flute of God opens doors to how spirit and life work. Beyond inspiring!

Advertisement or Introduction to Ayurveda?

I purchased this book in hopes of finding a book that would be an introduction the the science of Ayurveda for the students at my yoga studio who were unfamiliar with the topic. Chopra presented the information in terms a Westerner might easily grasp. He succeded, from my point of wiew, in translating some of the more esoteric ideas and ways of looking at the interplay between nature, our minds and our bodies.

My main frustration with the book was that it seemed to be very much an published advertisement for the Chopra Center in La Jolla, CA. For instance, he would suggest a person of a particuar constitution would benefit from drinking an herbal tea specific to their "type." But rather than mention the herbal ingredients in the tea, he would suggest it could be purchased from the website listed. As well, suggestions for aromatherapy as a support of health mentioned no specific essential oils, but once again, directs the reader to a website from which they can make apurchase. To my disappointment, this theme continued throughout the book.

If you are looking to simply get an overview of what Ayurveda is in clear consise language, this is a good STARTING point. For more specifics, David Frawley and Vasant Lad have much more to offer in the many books they have authored on the topic.
