  This revised and updated practical guide shows readers how to use Ayurveda - an ancient healing system for vitality and better health. Ayurveda defines your likely patterns of health and ill-health by assessing your body type. The book presents a lifestyle guide tailored to the individual, based on the three fundamental energies - vata, pitta and kapha. It encourages you to know who you are, why you stay healthy and why you become sick. It advises how to change your diet and daily life to suit your constitution and maximize your enjoyment of living. A questionnaire reveals your constitutional type. Case studies, charts, diagrams and exercises are included. Readers are also told what to expect from an Ayurvedic practitioner.
