The Mindbody Cleanse: A 14-Day Detox and Rejuvenation Program from Ancient Ayurveda

I have yet to try the cleanse, but after reading through it and having studied Ayurveda for over a year I am confident in Adrian and Ronly's knowledge on the subject. The information in this book is so methodically arranged, more than any other book on the practice of Ayurvedic medicine that I've read. I will update this review as soon I have completed the cleanse.Thank you, Adrian and Ronly, for putting together such a masterpiece. I feel like this is the book I've been waiting for since I was introduced to this system of medicine. Now to truly put it in practice.

This is a great introduction to the Ayurvedic cleanse. Generally, when I hear the word "cleanse", I think of some crazy fad diet. However, this is an Ayurvedic program which has been around for over 2,000 years, and it has endured the test of time. This cleanse makes use of good nutritious food, and there is no starvation involved. The cleanse addresses not only diet, but also stress management and self care. It is also a good introduction to the ancient practice of Ayurveda. After reading through the book, I have a beginner's understanding of three doshas of vata, pitta, and kapha. The book is very well-written and organized, and has charts and lists to help one navigate through the fourteen day cleanse. Best of all, the back of the book contains over 100 recipes to use before, during and after the cleanse process. Most of these recipes are both simple to make and delicious, which is a wonderful plus to someone who doesn't enjoy too much fussing about in the kitchen. This is a great resource for anyone interested in better health through the ancient practice of Aruyveda.

What a gift these two authors have created in"The Body Mind Cleanse" and in the cleansing programs Adrian offers. I have personally completed the 14 day cleanse 3 times and have brought others to the class to assist them in a more nutritious way of eating and understanding that you don't have to do a calorie count or rigorous exercise for your body to balance to more vitality and a natural weight . The book is a virtual encyclopedia that invites a lifetime of exploration to conscious choices that support a healthy life. I love the sharing and comraderie in meeting with Adrian and others participating in the cleanse, but you can also do the programs on line. She takes you on a journey, page by page; each page is a pearl of wisdom in Ayurvedic concepts, philosophy and recipes. It's all there, enjoy the book and make a commitment to making yummy, healthy, food your medicine.

I love this book! These women have done a remarkable job at helping translate Ayurveda practices into every day life. This isn't just another cleanse book. This is a book to help remind us to become more self aware, and to continue to be more conscience in our every day life. This cleanse makes sense. Using the right foods to help cleanse our bodies, not deprive them. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to recharge their life and their diet. And bonus, the recipes are incredible! Ayurveda just makes sense. This is a great introduction into Ayurveda and I highly recommend taking this knowledge and sinking deeper into the practice. It's worth it!

This book has depth. It is well-organized. I know this book will be helpful not just while participating in an integrative healing two-week safe, whole-person cleanse practice outlined in it, but also for many days, months, and seasons ahead. The authors clearly live and breathe Ayurveda, and they provide clear guidelines to help us on our journey. The recipes alone are both simple and well-crafted; they include many options and adaptations based on whole foods to adapt to individual and seasonal changes. This book has already benefited me and my family. Others too (you!) can and will benefit from this resource as you also bless your hands, hearts, and minds with owning it as well!

I love how organized the information is! Ayurveda makes all the sense in the world, but the Sanskrit words can really mess with my understanding.It is really easy to get confused and then give up. However, Ronly and Adrian have done an incredible job of making these concepts, processes, and ingredients tangible and accessible. I just scheduled my first 14-day cleanse in my calendar, and I'm excited to experience it. The book gives me a great sense of what to expect, and that makes this process less intimidating and scary. If you're interested in a cleanse, this is the book to buy!!!

Beautiful book. I am a mom of a three year old and taking the time to do this cleanse was life altering! Like a mini vacation that had a few challenges which ended up being very spiritually emotionally, and physically transformative. This was very nourishing and gentle, yet effective. I will enjoy cooking the recipes and learning more from this book in years to come.

This book is a life changer !! It is filled page after page with well studied ,thought out information . I completed the cleanse with Adrian ( who is available via email /phone ) but the book was like having a constant advisor too ! Bonus ! It is filled with delicious easy recipes to use during the cleanse - and now it is the only way I want to cook and eat . Highly recommend !! Can't wait to do another cleanse at the end of Fall !!

Dieses Buch enthält nicht nur tolle Rezepte, sondern auch ausführliche Erklärungen warum, wie und was funktioniert. Es gibt spezielle Yoga-Übungen für die Anregung des Darms, weitere Reinigungsmethoden aus dem Ayurveda, Meditationsanleitungen uvm.! Dabei befinden sich die Autoren ziemlich sicher auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen Wissenschaftlichkeit und Spiritualität. Das Buch ist also weder zu trocken, noch zu verrückt und unfundiert. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Great book. Well organized. Great recipes.The cleanse is easy to follow. I let go of 12 lbs doing the cleanse and had the best sleeps of my life.Life-changing because the MB cleanse book has put me on the Yogi and Ayurvedic path. Well done ladies. Well done.Thank you,JP

The book is a good guide for a cleanse no doubt in that.. The only thing is the ingredients in the recipes given at the end of the book are not available easily in interiors of India(where I reside) .and there are some non-veg recipes I was just wondering does Ayurveda and non-vegetarian lifestyle go hand in hand..!
