Everywhere we turn, we're bombarded by messages, headlines, videos, books, classes, etc. that promise us how to become healthy in "10 easy steps," yet the daunting statistics show that the world's population is facing more health challenges than ever before. A one-size-fits-all medical system, which concentrates on symptomology and treatment with drugs/surgery, simply doesn't work for many people.
Ayurveda (Sanskrit for "science of life"), a consciousness-based system of healing, is stepping up to close the gaps between thinking, knowing, feeling, and doing. Idiot's Guides: Ayurveda will focus on the mind-body connection and explain that our experiences - including perceptions and lifestyle choices - are metabolized into molecules in our bodies and will help you make the most life-affirming choices for your optimal health and well-being.

- Discover your unique Dosha and learn how it is reflected in your physiology, metabolism, digestion, personality, and even in your dreams.
