see pages 9-12 of The Ayurvedic Cookbook by Amadea

introduction. <br><br>Other useful sources both by Dr. David

Frawley are:<br><br>Yoga & Ayurveda: Self-Healing and

Self-Realization<br><br>Ayurveda and the Mind<br><br>A visit to an ayurveda

practitioner is definitely worthwhile. The diagnosis is done

through examining the tongue and is very accurate

physically and psychologicallly. The practitioner that I

went to said my constitutional type was 50% pita, 30%

vata and 20% kapha. This same result came up when I

did the self test mentioned above. <br><br>There

aren't any ayurveda practitioners in Ottawa but there is

one in Montreal. I haven't seen her but acquaintances

have and she comes highly recommended. If you are ever

going to Montreal and want to contact her, e-mail me

Thanks for your reply Omprem. I'm sure I could

find a practioner in Toronto,... but I will try that

(Ayurvedic Cookbook) test you mentioned. Incidentally, I had

recently contracted a gum infection, so I tried an

Ayurvedic toothpaste. Just amazing, (contains a herb called

Neem) so along with a natural bristle toothbrush, grape

seed oil and a water pick, I cured it. What with

health considerations and the desire to remain healthy

in old age, I think dental health should be one of

the most important considerations, although to be

honest with you, all things dental make me feel

nauseous. Remember Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man and his

crazy dentist and his drill? I'll bet that man never

went to a reputable Dentist College.

THERE is also ABSOLUTE BEAUTY which deals mostly

with skin care. I highly recommend it. I too would

love to go to Ayurvedic practitioner and have my dosha

read. I have so much kaph/pitta that I can't tell which

dominates. :)
