USER REVIEWS
"My copy is older (1986). I imagine there is a new and updated version out.
It is co-written by Dr. Vasant Lad. Dr. Lad is the administrator at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, NM.
I have gotten much use out of this book. It is based on the ayurvedic medical tradition. Herbs, American, European and Oriental are all described and assessed according to the ayurvedic principals. There are first aid treatments, English and Sanskrit glossaries and Latin appendix.
Ayurveda can be confusing to people who have little or no background in it. The descriptions in this book are simple and easy to understand. Connecting the herbs and their properties is easy with the charts and information included. There is an excellent chapter on `how to prepare and use herbs according to Ayurveda'.
This book is an excellent primer on using herbal remedies in the Ayurvedic tradition and also an excellent sourcebook on regular herbal usage. Even if you don't ascribe to Ayurveda the information on the herbs is very useful

"This is the best, bar none. It goes into detail with each herb, telling us the energetics of the herbs, in terms of ayurveda-the oldest system of popular standardized medicine in the world. Ayurveda literally means science of life. There is indepth information on the physical and psychological effects of each herb. It even tells you how the herbs relate to the chakras. Dr. Vasant Lad is the countrys' leading authority on Ayurveda (besides Deepak Chopra)and he got together with David Frawley-a very learned Vedic scholar to write this book. Together they make magic happen. This book is more than worth the money ."
