Book Reviews of Secrets of Ayurvedic Massage
Book Review: A waste of time and money
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased a copy of this book some time ago hoping it would give more insight into my ayurvedic massaging. I was disappointed to find it's filled with many misinformations. First of all, the author has no idea of differentiations between vedic, yogic and ayurvedic. Secondly there are some really strange statements ("acupuncture originated from marma therapy"), which are founded more on the author's vivid imagination and are not supported by any evidence... Thirdly, no contraindications for ayurvedic massage are given. Lastly the massage techniques are given very vaguely/crudely.
The only good thing about this book are the dosha descriptions, but that can be found in most ayurveda related books.
I strongly suspect the other reviewer who wrote two (!) positive comments must be a friend of the author.
Ultimately, a waste of both time and money.
