I've incorporated many of the lifestyle changes from this book and feel much more balanced and look more rested.

the book is the essence of Ayurvedic skin care, exactly what I was looking for. Very good read. I recommend.

This book is simply amanzing. I have studied ayurveda in the past two years and I have several books on the subject and considerer this book one of the best. It is well written and gives you all the knowledge necessary to change your routines (dinacharya) for better health and for happiness. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely LOVE this book! (& actually I haven't yet finished reading it!) haha... I'm already experimenting with coconut oil on my face, tho, and FEELING the supple difference! It's a very thorough read for anyone sincerely searching for a natural solution to their skin problems. There's no way that it could be harmful, only helpful. Love the theory that everything you put on your skin is 'food for your skin'! So if you can't imagine eating it, you shouldn't be putting it on your skin! :-O ^_^ I really like the profiles of the different doshas and I love that it explains the common temperaments, etc. It really is about learning to de-stress in order to de-wrinkle! I really really could go on forever about how much I love this book :) It's just been the answers to so many questions I had been searching for in terms of clearing my face and also gives me such great incentive to work towards clearing my worrying thoughts whenever they do creep up ^_^ Not only for the sake of facial beauty but for entire body and mind health! Oh, I would love to be this woman's apprentice. She has obviously really done her research and there is a LOT of amazing facts from modern studies there to back up all the ancient wisdoms.
