So, what does the science say?

Dr Bhaswati Bhattacharya gets to the heart of this often-asked question about Ayurveda, unpacks the evidence behind the ancient healing system, and shares its wisdom for good health and longevity.

She does this while taking the reader on a journey, much like the one she took as a board-certified MD practicing medicine out of New York. As she answers the question of how we heal and why we heal, she delves into the three pillars of Ayurveda health – ahara (diet and food), vihara (lifestyle and activities), and aushadha (medicine), and shares tonics, recipes, and ancient advice.

Structured around the rhythms of daily living, The Ayurveda Life is at once personal, prescriptive, and philosophical. It is as much a book about how to live as it is about how to heal. Here, Ayurveda is not a relic of ancient belief, but a living, breathing science and way of life. Here, the body, mind, and nature come together to help you slow down, pay attention to your body, and live a healthier, more harmonious life.
