Aveda Rituals : A Daily Guide to Natural Health and Beauty
A lushly illustrated guide to holistic beauty and health by the founder of AVEDA(r)cross promotion with AVEDA.
The understanding that our beauty and health are depent on the environment around us as well as the personal landscape of our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls, is the foundation of Horst Rechelbacher's holistic guide. More than 100 color photographs complement the practical text in AVEDA Rituals, which highlights the interconnectedness of all of health and beauty; of mind, body, and spirit; of our bodies and the larger body we must care for, Earth.
Horst Rechelbacher founded AVEDA by creating pure plant-based beauty products in his own sink. Over the past twenty years he has developed it into a multimillion-dollar company with a conscience. Now he has written AVEDA Rituals, which provides a broad new holistic approach to health, beauty, and wellness. First, the author introduces and discusses Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and his own personal philosophies for life. Then he goes on to provide a wide array of daily rituals derived from them that touch on every aspect of life, including cleansing, nutrition, meditation, aromatherapy, relaxation, body movement, massage, goal setting, and stress management. Readers are invited to incorporate each of their elements into their own individual daily regimen, one that will leave them feeling their best and most beautiful inside and out!

This is a fantastic book. I once found the Ayurveda approach to health intimidating - something for other people - but nothing could be further from the truth. If you are looking for an approachable, enjoyable, sustainable approach to health, balance and beauty, read this book!

I'm enjoying this book. It is a timely reminder that my well-being is in my own hands, and gives me lots of reinforcement to do the things I instinctively know are better for me, for those around me, and for the planet. What else can I say? This is the book that I need right now.

I purchased this book at Aveda Congress way back when it was published. I even got Horst to sign it!! :)
I think it's time that I re-read it! It's been so long!!

It was a pretty book, but it seemed a bit more 'fluff' and pretty pictures than a real info book. Good for the coffee table.
