Dr. Siva has written an intelligent, personal and highly practical book for creating a workable Ayurvedic lifestyle. She seamlessly makes this ancient and often esoteric approach to healthcare completely accessible to the modern practitioner -and in the process, allows us to move towards one of the single most important issue facing humans today - healthcare revolution. Beautifully researched and expressed by Siva's own personal healer's journey, this is a book I will recommend to all of the students who work in my online Ayurveda certification programs. I highly recommend
