Ayurvedic Spa: Treatments for large and small spas as well as home care to help everyone become healthy, happy, and inspired

This book is awesome. I am opening a spa and it is particularly useful for me, but even for a private practitioner it is helpful to design your operation in such a way that honors each person invovled. They have a wonderful chapter on creating goodwill between all practitioners and creating a lovely working environment and how when that is the foundation, of course every treatment will follow. There are also exact descriptions of each Ayurvedic Treatment, with pictures and text (PediKarma, Ayurvedic Face Rejuvenation, etc). I have read the Kindle version. I went ahead and purchased their videos also, but the text descriptions are invaluable and could be followed on their own by any therapist who had some experience in creating nice treatments. I think this book expands significantly on "Ayurvedic Beauty." I already had the latter and I'm so glad I got "Ayurvedic Spa."

This book contains a lot of information, which I have to go through in detail. I was very impressed after my quick scan of the book.

Was thrilled to find this book used & more thrilled to promptly receive it in excellent condition! Thank the Auyervedic Gods?! It's a plethora of information, explanation, relaxation, imagination. Loving it.

Bought this to supplement Ayurveda program studies that I was in locally. Melanie and Robert are amazingly knowledgeable, and I was impressed with this compendium of detailing the different doshas, history, and step by step processes with photos to do many of these body care treatments at home. Looking forward to years of continued experimentation with this source material. Based on another review I purchased this Ayurvedic Spa version instead of just the home beauty care book as they said material was repeated between the two. Docked a star because I thought that there would be clear recipes in here. Ubtan is mentioned in several treatments, but could not find a recipe in the book? Mostly saw charts that seemed to say which botanicals were best for what dosha, or how someone in a spa might identify a client and their preferences based on dosha. Did have listings in the back resources section for what companies to buy products from but had hoped to make the ones I would use.

Very informative and educational.

Great book, lots of details.
