À propos de la quatrième de couverture

BHARTI VYAS shows you simple and practical ways to enhance your health and prolong your life using Ayurveda, India's ancient holistic medical system.

Find out what type you are and how your dominant governing force (or dosha) determines your temperament, emotions, body shape, skin type and metabolism:

'Air' (vata) – creative, slender and highly strung; prone to suffer from insomnia and hates confrontation
'Fire' (pitta) – ambitious, focused and of medium build; can be irritable or argumentative
'Earth' (kapha) – slow-moving, curvaceous and placid; tends to put on weight easily and dislikes change

If your doshas are not in balance you will experience specific health problems, according to your type. In this book, Bharti Vyas helps you to determine your type with a detailed questionnaire and then introduces you to a whole new world of self care:

'Delicious and healthy recipes'
Skincare remedies and aromatherapy oils
'Herbal, vitamin and mineral supplements'
Ayurvedic friction massage
'Scalp and face massage'
Yoga, meditation and breathing
'Detoxifying treatments'

Ayurveda's focus on cleansing and purification makes it the perfect therapy to counterbalance our stressed and polluted modern lives. 'Simply Ayurveda' is designed to make this ancient holistic system easy to use.

PRAISE FOR BHARTI VYAS

"If you haven't heard of Ayurveda you soon will. India's oldest holistic healing system is a great counterbalance to our stressed-out, polluted lives – Bharti's fascination with Eastern philosophies began 20 years ago and naturally led her towards Ayurveda."
BEVERLEY D'SILVA, 'The Sunday Times'

"What I like about Bharti's approach to beauty is that it is spiritual as well as practical. I adore her saying, 'When you feel beautiful, you look beautiful'."
CHER

"Heady mix of hands-on therapy, Indian mysticism and homespun common sense."
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

"Bharti's knowledge and practise of health and beauty is simply excellent."
NEWBY HANDS, 'Harpers and Queen'

"I love this no-nonsense, practical approach to beauty. It makes perfect sense."
BELINDA CARLISLE
