The Ayurvedic Cookbook
Ayurvedic Herbal Massage Book
Where to begin when the range is unfamiliar
Most people arrive at this store having been told about one product by one person. These books are for the reader who wants the reasoning underneath it: what the categories mean, why food sits at the centre of the tradition, and what a therapy actually consists of.
They are written for a general reader rather than a practitioner, and assume no Sanskrit and no prior theory. If you cook for a household, the recipe books are the more useful two, and the recipes are built around ingredients available outside India. The massage book is the one to read before booking a first treatment, since it sets out plainly what the treatment involves.
Which one to take
- The Ayurvedic Cookbook — A two-week structured introduction through food. The most practical opening of the three.
- The Ayurvedic Wellness Cookbook — Recipes arranged around balance and rejuvenation, for a reader who wants the reasoning as well as the method.
- Ayurvedic Massage Therapies — What the classical therapies are, and what happens during one. Worth reading before a first treatment.
Always read the label and directions on the pack you receive, and speak with your physician before starting anything new — particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a health condition or taking prescription medicine.
