Caraka Samhita

"If you are studying Ayurveda either officially or on your own, then almost everything you read in modern paperbacks about the subject has been culled form the Charaka Samita. This edition, in four volumes, gives the Sanskrit text along with a fairly good English translation. Printed and bound in India it is well produced while not being up to western standards, but in many ways that only adds to the mystery and excitement of holding a 3000 year old text in your hands. And the principles of health that worked then still work today...this is not the science of speculation, but revealed truth. Many modern works will give you this information, but having the original to consult is something special."
