Ancient is the new cutting edge--by combining the timeless principles of Ayurveda with modern scientific insight, we can achieve true mind-body wellness. Ulli Allmendinger, an herbalist and Ayurvedic healer, integrates traditional wisdom into daily life with practical guidance on topics like:

• Resetting your circadian rhythm
• Optimizing digestion and metabolism
• Developing physical and mental resilience
• Determining your unique energy balance, or "prakruti"

At the heart of the book lies the Ayurvedic understanding of the three fundamental energies or "doshas"--Vata, Pitta, and Kapha--and their intricate interplay in governing the rhythms and functions of the body, mind, and spirit. Allmendinger, introduces a revolutionary new method of determining one's Ayurvedic constitutional type, or "prakruti," based on unchanging physical features rather than current imbalances or symptoms. This innovative approach empowers readers to embrace the positive, essential qualities of each dosha and learn to flow with life's rhythms.

Learn how to be your own "inner alchemist" by embracing these holistic practices, and optimize your physical, mental, and spiritual potential. Includes a comprehensive 9-week reset program, plus 20 easy recipes for breakfasts, soups, beverages, gut-healing tonics, teas, and simple lunch bowls.
