Beauty Wisdom: Beauty Treatments for the Whole Body

"You have control over your own body; being happy with yourself is the key".

It is important for every human being to try to live in harmony with nature but the stresses and strains of modern living make this increasingly difficult. It is a well-known fact that our minds, bodies and spirits are all affected by our state of health, making our emotional health dependant on our physical well-being.

Bharti Vyas recognises this and sets out to demonstrate that by using a natural and holistic approach older women can be helped to understand what is happening to them and in so doing they can be made to feel and look their very best. She offers sound practical advice on "The Elements of Getting Older", for example: the menopause and how to overcome the symptoms; help with beauty problems such as wrinkles, dry skin and thinning hair; dietary advice; and how to enjoy sex with increasing intimacy.

"There is no magic formula for staying young and healthy forever but there is a lot you can do to retain your vitality and youth well past the menopause."

Massage and acupressure feature in an excellent feature with step-by-step routines for different parts of the body which are simple, straightforward and easy to follow. Further help is discussed using essential oils and homeopathic remedies and the "Food for Health" section is exactly what it says: "If you want a healthy body you must first have a healthy balanced diet" and it contains detailed information and delicious recipes.

This is an excellent book; one which every woman over the age of 40 should read. --Susan Naylor
