The Encyclopedia of Ayurvedic Massage

The Encyclopedia of Ayurvedic Massage by John Douillard, published by North Atlantic Books in 2004.

Five thousand years old, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and calm. Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an integral part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in length.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves health and wellbeing.
