Bet Ayurveda resource out there, I read a few other books and this one goes into details which is super helpful because in French or English on the internet the info otherwise is pretty basic or contradictory. Really easy to go back to and find what you need. Very clear too. A must

So much information and so easy to understand! This makes me excited to start an herb garden and start healing naturally.

Lots of good, basic information interspersed with some useless charts, repetition, and a damaging amount of body shaming and food shaming for any poor soul (in her eyes) who finds themselves of the Kapha body type. It's pretty damaging; the author needs to recognize her hypocrisy in discounting eating disorders and overexercise as Vata imbalances while perpetuating the diet culture that proclaims anyone born with a larger body needs to shrink it down to be a Vata.

I listened to Sarahara's pod cast on Sivana and it definitely intriuged me, so I was happy when her book came out. Ayurveda is not a simple concept, but this book lays in out nicely and in a very understandable way. What I found really interesting is that a lot of present day thoughts have their roots in Ayurveda. I think I'm going to have to revist the book a few times to grasp it all!

Good overview of wide range of topics, way too much repetition. The little boxes of call outs were not useful.
