Ayurveda: Breaking the Rules Without Breaking the Principles
Available on BookBaby and Amazon
From the authors of My Mother's Ayurvedic Kitchen comes a new book that offers a personalized approach to Ayurveda that’s grounded in lifestyle medicine, epigenetics, and spirituality.
Ayurveda: Breaking the Rules Without Breaking the Principles serves as a comprehensive introduction to the ancient healing art of Ayurveda. The book unravels the fundamental principles of this 5,000-year-old science, emphasizing the need for balance in body, mind, and spirit. The key to this healing discipline lies in self-knowledge and establishing a deep connection with the natural world.
From there, readers are encouraged to break traditional rules. To tailor the practice to their unique needs, respecting the fact that Ayurveda was not designed to create a uniform path for all. Readers are guided to contemplate various aspects of their lives, from the climate they live in and their upbringing to their genetic makeup and personal belief system, all influencing their individual health journey.
Explore the beauty and philosophy of Ayurveda, relating it to the fields of epigenetics and spirituality, thus fostering a mind-body union and self-awareness about how our choices influence our well-being.
The book offers insight into creating a personalized Ayurvedic lifestyle, including daily routines like sleep hygiene, oral health, gut alkalization, self-oil massage (abhyanga), yoga asanas, pranayama breathwork techniques, and meditation. It also delves into crafting simple meals promoting health for all dosha types, using the right ingredients and food combinations.
