 The tastes of Ayurveda: more healthful, healing recipes for the modern Ayurvedic By Amrita Sondhi 2012 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1551524384 | PDF | 171 MB Ayurveda, the five thousand-year-old healing tradition from India linked to the development of yoga, is based on the concept that one's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being comes from a number of sources, including a healthful diet based on one's individual constitution. In this vegetarian cookbook, Amrita Sondhi, author of The Modern Ayurvedic Cookbook (now in its fourth printing), provides new twists on traditional Ayurvedic recipes that are also inspired by the growing popularity of whole grains (quinoa, spelt, and barley) and raw foods.The Ayurvedic diet is based on the concept of three "doshas": vata (air), pitta (fire), and kapha (earth). Each of us has a primary dosha that we can strive to maintain at a healthy balance, but which can cause problems if excessive. The book includes a questionnaire so readers can determine their own primary dosha and then look for recipes that will help them to maintain or reduce it for optimal health.Recipes include modern interpretations of Indian cuisine (spicy paneer zucchini kabobs and mango and coconut kulfi), and Ayurvedic spins on vegetarian fare (sprouted barley rainbow pilaf and raw zucchini hummus). The book also includes yoga and breathing exercises that one can easily do at home or at work, full-color recipe photos, and information on sprouting/fermenting techniques and backyard gardening.The Tastes of Ayurveda offers simple and delicious ways to achieve a more healthful and serene life.Amrita Sondhi is a yoga instructor, Ayurvedic cooking teacher, and the owner of Movement, a sustainable fiber clothing line.  The secrets of the female body: Amazing Facts about a Woman's Body by Emma William English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B3M86PNZ | 320 pages | EPUB | 0.44 Mb The female body has always confused men. Ancient Greek physicians believed the uterus wandered around the body. In the sixteenth century, doctors thought the clitoris was used for urination, and the uterus had two demonic horns. (This did nothing for the women's movement.),Many of these misconceptions arose out of inaccurate medical drawings. Until the nineteenth century, physicians were only allowed to dissect men and animals. Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings are surprisingly accurate with one exception - he really botched the female reproductive system. Even Hippocrates, the father of medicine, never dissected a female body.
