Table of Contents
Books
I’m always adding to my collection some good books that help me improve my health. I have hundreds of books and love finding the best ones to suggest to people.
Here are my favorite books that would make great gifts for any health and wellness lover:
The Rainbow Diet: A Holistic Approach to Radiant Health Through Foods and Supplements by Dr. Deanna Minich
Dr. Deanna Minich is one of my favorite holistic health experts. She focuses on color when it comes to health. This book gives you a comprehensive guide to eating all the colors of the rainbow.
Idiots Guide to Ayurveda by Sahara Rose
This was my first book on Ayurveda. She incorporates a lot about holistic health (mind and soul, not just body) into this book, which is another reason why I love her!
Healing Your Life: Lessons on the Path of Ayurveda by Dr. Marc Halpern
Dr. Marc Halpern is the president and founder of the California College of Ayurveda. He discovered Ayurveda when he was suffering from an autoimmune disorder. He healed himself and went on to create the first Ayurvedic college in the United States to help heal others. I have taken a course from him, so much of what I know about Ayurveda is from him and I highly recommend his book.
The 3-Season Diet: Eat the Way Nature Intended by Dr. John Douillard
This is one of the best books I’ve ever read on how to eat seasonally. Dr. John Douillard is one of the best experts to learn from when it comes to Ayurveda and living in alignment with nature and the seasons. This is invaluable information and I refer to this book more than any other book I own.
Products and Gadgets
Light Therapy Lamp by Circadian Optics
This lamp was mostly responsible for helping me reset my circadian rhythm (no easy feat since I have a circadian rhythm disorder!). These lamps are also recommended for anyone with Seasonal Affective Disorder. If you are buying this for someone in the Northern part of the world, it’s a must-have that they have probably never thought to buy on their own.
Sleep Headphone Mask
This is one of the coolest things I have ever bought! It’s purpose is to allow you to listen to meditations or music laying down, while meditating, or on an airplane, train, etc. It is soft, it blocks out all light, and it is so comfortable to wear.
Himalayan Salt Lamp
Every house could use multiples of these! I have 3 regular size ones plus 3 night lights also made of Himalayan salt. These are great to use to help you wind down for sleep because they provide warm lighting which helps you to start producing melatonin after sunset, and they are calming and relaxing. They also purify the air as a side bonus.
Garshana Gloves
These gloves are the best way to dry brush your skin! Dry brushing helps with lymph stimulation, blood circulation, and skin softening. I use them every day before showering. These are less harsh than the brushes so they’re perfect for anyone even those with sensitive skin.
Foldable Manual Treadmill
This treadmill changed my fitness, singlehandedly! I did not have the budget for an expensive treadmill, nor did I have the space to set one, nor did I want something so big I couldn’t move it myself. This treadmill is small, lightweight, portable, and since it’s manual (no motor) it’s less expensive. As a bonus, you also get more of a workout since you have to hold on to the bars as you walk because the bottom is at an incline in order to keep it moving. This makes a great gift for anyone who lives in a cold climate and can’t get outside to walk in the winter, and doesn’t have a lot of space. This treadmill folds up easily and only takes up a small space when it’s in use.
I hope this list was useful in giving you some ideas for the health and wellness lover in your life! I know these products have all changed my life, so I’m happy to share them with you in the hopes that more people can benefit from using them, whether that is yourself or your lucky gift recipient!
