The Indían medicine Ayurveda has been increasingly disseminated throughout the world. With a holistic view of the human being, perceiving each individual as a whole and unique, this book addresses this ancient knowledge as a way of living. The concepts and practices of this philosophy go far beyond the treatment of diseases and are mainly adopted as preventive habits, with daily choices and self-observation. Renata de Abreu, a specialist on the subject for over twenty years, shares her personal experience and professional reports of consultations with people who seek to adopt these habits, inserting the knowledge of Ayurveda into their routine, integrating it into the modern-Western lifestyle. Theory, practice, and various health problems and associated solutions, as well as Ayurvedic recipes and guidance, make up this book along with unpublished photographs that bring artistic nuances of this lifestyle and the Indian culture - a fundamental interweaving for those who want to understand and delve into the world of Ayurveda.
