On August 10, 2022 by marghevivianiAre you more interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle instead of buying tons of “not-always-useful” medicines? Then we have similar interests.

What means Holistic Well-being? Holistic well-being means that your body, mind, spirit, and society are balanced and functioning in harmony with each other. Everything is interconnected: from bed thoughts, you feel bad in the body, or what you do (or don’t do) might affect your thoughts. And I truly believe that every year people aren’t interested anymore to take care only of their bodies. There is more research on how to achieve mind, body, spirit, and social health. The main culture which is concerned with the holistic well-being of human-being is China. There I met the first time about how Chinese medicine treats people. When you go to a simple visit, the doctor first asks you about your social relationships, how you sleep and what you eat, and then understands the symptoms. Later on, I discovered Ayurveda: ancient Indian “knowledge of life” which was founded more than 5,000 years ago. And Chinese Medicine is 3,000 years old, even though is more famous, but my Ayurvedic teacher confirmed that Chinese medicine takes sources from Ayurveda. And it makes a lot of sense. I invite you to find it out by yourself. That’s why I prepared a list of 10 Holistic Well-being books that you can study and apply the knowledge in your life. Go ahead and discover 🙂 List of 10 books about Holistic Well-being 1. Practical Ayurveda by Swami Sivananda This one is my favorite and number one book in holistic wellbeing category.
