In this book, you will learn in a clear and concise manner the fundamental principles of the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda, a 5000-year-old combination of natural science and philosophy, and how to integrate it into daily life with minimal effort. This is also of interest to those who, after an Ayurveda retreat in India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Mauritius, or more recently in Vietnam, Cambodia, or the United Arab Emirates, are wondering how to carry the positive experiences and insights into their everyday lives and how to easily follow the advice of their Ayurveda doctor at home. After an easily understandable introduction to the unfamiliar words and concepts for Europeans, readers are encouraged to actively participate in determining their predominant body or constitution type (dosha), which largely influences the Ayurvedic lifestyle and diet.
