Ayurveda for Women

Robert E Svoboda, MD

In Ayurveda for Women, Dr. Svoboda explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual realities unique to women and offers practical advice for women of all ages. Women's roles in creating and sustaining balanced, healthy lives for themselves and their families have never been more crucial, and this compelling book will help them fulfill their goals despite the numerous demands placed upon them. Unlike many Western programs for health that treat all individuals the same, the 5,000-year-old science of ayurveda identifies different physiological and psychological makeups and explains the lifestyle, diet, and environment most conducive to well-being for each.

Ayurveda for Women contains time-tested systems for achieving health and happiness while balancing the demands of the modern woman's lifestyle.

• A perfect handbook for any woman for whom quality of life is a central issue.
• Written by one of the leading advocates of ayurveda in the United States and the author of Ayurveda: Life, Health and Longevity.
• Provides practical advice on exercise, sleep, diet, beauty care, meditation and massage, sex and relationships, childcare, and menopause.

Ayurveda, India's "science of life," is ideal for healing and empowering the female body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveda for Women explores in detail the landmark changes associated with the three stages of life—childhood, adulthood, and old age—and provides practical advice on exercise, sleep, diet, beauty care, meditation and massage, sex and relationships, childcare, menopause, and other issues central to women's lives today. Simple to enact and profound in effect, ayurveda could be the answer many women are seeking.
