So, what does the science say?

Dr Bhaswati Bhattacharya draws on her decades-long experience integrating Ayurveda with modern medicine to get to the heart of this question. In The Ayurveda Life, she unpacks the science behind the ancient Indian healing system and cuts through the clutter to present guidelines for good health and longevity.

This book addresses the need for synergy between holistic wellness and modern medicine, especially in a post-COVID world. In doing so, it shines a spotlight on the three pillars of health within Ayurveda - ahara (diet and food), vihara (lifestyle and activities), and anushadha (medicine). It provides insights into how concepts like gut microbiome, circadian rhythms, and epigenetics align with Ayurveda.

In-depth sections explore the herbs, minerals, and foods at the heart of Ayurveda. Recipes for tonics, treatments, meals, a practical schedule for daily living, and easy-to-follow exercises paired with advice from ancient texts and some of the greatest Ayurvedic vaidyas (doctors) make this a definitive book on Ayurveda, where science and tradition coexist for healthier and more harmonious living.
