With a gentle foundation of Ayurveda that governs the rationale behind the ingredients of each recipe in the book, the reader feels quite equipped and even eager to start cooking because they all appear so delicious while being practical! The book certainly has laid my mind at ease and given me confidence that I can eat and recover right!

This postnatal self-healing book is a must have for all new moms. I absolutely loved Ameya's effort in it, and her instructions are very easy to follow. I am now 1 month postpartum, and i already feel very light and healed. Give yourself this wonderful gift for healing. It worth every penny.
