hadidee's review against another edition
Very informative overview/introduction to the concepts of Ayurveda. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the topic

It’s hard to give a star rating to a book like this???
Anyway, I heard the author speak about Ayurveda on a podcast earlier this year, and I was really intrigued by it so I ordered the book. It’s a good (based on my zero experience and knowledge regarding the topic) presentation of what Ayurveda is, and I found it all very interesting.
My husband thought I was joining a cult the entire time I was reading it, but that’s beside the point.

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!
