Ayurveda: Healing Power from Ancient India (Woodland Health Series)

Ayurveda is a holistic system of health care that's been practiced in India and Sri Lanka for centuries. Practitioners view patients as a whole person, taking into account both their physical and spiritual well-being, and seek to balance the three bio-energies, or doshas. Balancing the three doshas involves recommended lifestyle improvements as well as dietary changes and other treatments. Herbs may be used to help healing and bring one or more of the doshas into harmony.
