Produktbeschreibung

This book is a companion to Ayurvedic studies. It discusses the history and evolution of Ayurveda, its philosophy, and its practical uses in everyday life-from medicine to mental wellbeing.

It harks back to the traditional Indian concept of four aspects of lifelong learning. These were instruction by the teacher, individual effort, learning from companions and lastly, wisdom gathered over a lifetime.
