First published in 1990, Deepak Chopra's best seller PERFECT HEALTH did much to popularize the ancient healing approach known as Ayurveda. Combining the insights of ayurveda and modern medical science, Chopra's method begins with determining one's dosha, or mind-body type. Then he offers a program of diet, exercise, and nutrition. The goal is to modify everyday living to improve general health, strengthen the body against disease, and extend life. Illustrated. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
