Description

“A must-read for anyone coming to Ayurveda for the first time or as a readable brush-up for all. Sahara offers a contemporary explanation of Ayurvedic wisdom that resonates with today’s readers.”-Deepak Chopra

Discover your Ayurvedic Dosha (mind-body type) and find foods, self-care practices, yoga poses, and meditations that are tailored to your unique needs.

Best-selling author Sahara Rose Ketabi makes Ayurveda accessible with this contemporary guide to the world’s oldest health system. Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga. It’s the age-old secret to longevity, digestive health, mental clarity, beauty, and balance that’s regaining popularity today for its tried-and-trued methods.

Sahara Rose revitalizes ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with a modern approach and explains how adjusting the timing of your meals; incorporating self-care practices such as dry-brushing, oil-pulling and tongue-scraping; eating the correct foods for your digestive type; and practicing the right yoga and meditation practices for your unique personality will radically enhance your health, digestion, radiance, intuition, and bliss.

With Idiot’s Guides: Ayurveda, you will:

•       Discover your unique Dosha and learn how it is reflected in your physiology, metabolism, digestion, personality, and even in your dreams.
•       Learn how your body’s needs change according to the season, environment, and time of day
•       Find ways to regain luster, passion and flow in your life
•       Enjoy easy-to-make, plant-based recipes
•       Establish an Ayurvedic morning and nighttime ritual for optimal balance 
•       Learn how to balance your chakras according to your Dosha 
•       Use Ayurvedic herbs and spices to heal digestive issues, skin problems, hormonal imbalance, and other ailments


With plenty of fun facts, holistic humor, and sacred knowledge from Sahara that will help you seamlessly integrate Ayurveda into your lifestyle.

An OK beginners guide to Ayurveda thought the overall length would probably intimidate those looking for introductory information. I did like the "wisdom of the ages" sections scattered throughout.

This is the best Ayurveda learning book I have ever read. This will be your complete reference book when you want to learn about your Ayurvedic Dosha. Every book I have ever read tells some of this and that, but this one covers it all and explains in detail all you ever wanted to know about your body type, like what yoga poses are best for you, what foods to eat throughout the year, morning and evening practices according to your dosha, and how to balance your chakras according to your Dosha.

The Idiots Guide: Ayurveda by Sahara Rose Ketabi like all Idiots Guide books is a complete and comprehensive look at the age old system of Ayurveda. This book takes us from the beginning by explaining the concept and history of Ayurveda to how to use its principles in our everyday lives. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Ayurveda.
