Beauty Wisdom

By Bharti Vyas

Book Overview

Many traditional remedies from Asia, learnt from her grandmother's knee make up the wisdom of the treatments and tips of beauty therapist Bharti Vyas.

The book contains: a top-to-toe guide with all the tricks of the trade - from bags under the eyes to Indian scalp massage for the hair and scalp - every part of the body is dealt with in turn; a home spa regime using oil and self-massage with acupressure to balance the body systems; lymphatic drainage and postural advice; make up, haircare and manicure advice; nutrition and inner body health; kitchen cupboard treatments; and over 100 colour photos.

100% achievable feel-good advice

Bharti's simple approach makes the feel-good factor most people long for when buying this kind of book 100% achievable. After following her simple massage and home spa instructions I felt immensely relaxed and was glowing from head to foot (and all for the price of a bottle of almond oil and a box of deep sea salt!). I have bought a copy of this for my mum and most of my friends will be getting copies for their birthday/xmas presents as well.

Useful self-care manual.

Bharti Vyas draws upon the wisdom and spirituality of the East and the practical knowledge of the West in this unusual beauty manual. Utilizing acupressure techniques, self-massage, herbs, kitchen cupboard treatments, make-up tips, dietary advice, and more, the author addresses the needs and special problems of areas from head to toe, not forgetting inner health, including vital fluids and hormonal health. Well illustrated and clearly written, this is a very useful collection of tips for the woman who wants to maintain herself in top condition.
