"Seva Van Why brings her many years as an experienced teacher of Ayurvedic body treatments to this highly recommended Ayurveda Spa Therapy Manual. Beautiful, clear, thorough, and heartfelt, this manual will be appreciated as an indepth resource by newcomers to Ayurvedic bodywork as well as skilled Ayurvedic practitioners. It grounds its extensive therapeutic information about the medicinal qualities of massage oils, foods, herbs, and essential oils in a classic framework. Readers readily can access the depths of healing that Ayurveda offers. I was especially glad to see the section on Self Care for Bodyworkers, a much needed addition in our field. Thank you, Seva, for bringing together so much healing information in one manual."
