5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to understand and to the point....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ayurveda and Panchakarma: The Science of Healing and Rejuvenation (Paperback)
Dr. Joshi has done a great job with this book. The principles of Ayurveda are clearly presented in a way you can identify with. Many other books are over cumbersome and difficult to comprehend or apply to your life. Joshi shares home remedies as well as a succinct description fo Pancha Karma. If we all did this deep cleansing/nourishing rejuvenation program on a regular basis we would not only improve our quality of life but our cash flow as well, without the abundance of prescriptions masking the real source of dis---ease. Thanks Dr. Joshi for sharing the ancient knowledge of Ayurveda.

This review is from: Ayurveda and Panchakarma: The Science of Healing and Rejuvenation (Paperback)
On a trip to Paris, I picked up a magazine that contained an article by Dr. Joshi. It intriqued me. I followed the diet that he recommended for 21 days in the article and I felt amazingly better. So when I returned home from France, I decided to look up this Dr. Joshi and see what else he has written. Took the book to read on another trip and I was very impressed. His caring and non-critical nature comes through in his writing. He explains the Ayurvedic medical concepts thoroughly. He explains what doshas are and how to begin to accept yourself as the type of person that you are...all with distinct kindness and gentleness reflective of himself and his culture. He doesn't push or sell an agenda. He states facts. This would be a good book to read after something like Perfect Health by Chopra, because it reinforces and further explains principles in a slightly more clinical form. I liked the book very much and would not hesitate to recommend to the curious health addict.

Ayurveda and Panchakarma,
By Dean Campbell (Steamboat Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ayurveda and Panchakarma: The Science of Healing and Rejuvenation (Paperback)
I love this book! It clearly explains aspects of Ayurveda that I never could understand before. For example the difference between Agni & Pitta, is usually explained in a confusing way in other books, but here it totally makes sense. Dr. Joshi explains concepts using real-life examples drawn from his years of clinical experience, with real people/clients. It get the feel that he knows what he is talking about, which is something I don't find with many of the other books. Most of the other books on Ayurveda that I have read seem to be written by folks that are more students of Ayurveda, rather than practioners with years of clinical experience. For me I want to know that suggestions work in the Real World, with real people.If you want want a great intro to Ayurveda you can't go wrong with this book.
