Ayurveda for Beginners by Hans H. Rhyner

Ayurveda means "knowledge of life", the oldest healing art transmitted to mankind. Everyone can benefit from this immense wealth of experience and knowledge, in which body, mind and soul, lifestyle and environment all have their place.

Hans H. Rhyner has written a practical book for everyday life for those who are still unfamiliar with this healing art: Ayurveda for Beginners is the title of the book, which first familiarizes you with the basics. From the basic substances of space, wind, fire, water and earth, the path leads via our senses to the bioenergies Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Once the reader has determined his or her individual constitution, he or she will find specific tips and advice for his or her health and immune fitness, especially for a diet and lifestyle that suits his or her type: While meditation is recommended for the Vata type, strength training is more appropriate for the Kapha type. Vata-Kapha-dominated people enjoy a warm breakfast, and Pitta people should eat a sweet dessert at lunchtime.

Other sections deal with the special needs of children, women, men, working people and the 50+ generation. In the chapter 'Applications', in addition to the nutritional rules for all types, some yoga exercises for healthy movement are presented. The author then describes the effects of ointments, tongue scraping, oil pulling and eye care and explains exactly how it is done. Finally, he describes the techniques of holistic treatment of illnesses and their symptoms - from arthritis to burnout syndrome to obesity. With 25 years of practical experience, Hans H. Rhyner is an internationally recognized Ayurveda expert and is considered a pioneer of this gentle healing art in Europe. With his book Ayurveda for Beginners, it is possible to bring body, mind and soul back into harmony.
