(P/B) THE HIDDEN SECRET OF AJURVEDA

Παρουσίαση

The Hidden Secret of Ayurbeda is an excellent introduction and overview of the profound, ancient Indian healing system known as Ayurveda. This book gives the reader a chance to sense the working principles of Ayurveda, and see how Ayurveda can be adapted and integrated into life in a practical way, for today's health needs. The word Ayurveda can be translated as "the knowledge of life" or more correctly as "the knowledge of longevity". Ayurvedic healing looks at the whole person-the body, the mind, and the spirit-and helps to develop an individual program to bring balance, good health and at least a taste of immortality.
