5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books in English on Ayurveda,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ayurvedic Healing: A Comprehensive Guide (Paperback)
~I have read dozens of books on Ayurveda published in English; this stands out as simply the best of what I have read.It is sensitive, sympathetic to the conditions discussed, and lucid. A great work. So many others have been based on (and written with) excellent information and the best of intentions, but somehow have ended up being more confusing than helpful... even in something as basic as classifying doshas, I never really grasped them clearly until I read this book, which is laid out~~ calmly, clearly, and with massive knowledge and experience underlying its clarity. Again, an excellent book by someone who also seems to be a great human being-- it flows through all his words.~

excellent for both beginner and practitioner,
By
This review is from: Ayurvedic Healing (Paperback)
Ayurvedic Healing is an excellent book whether you know anything about the Vedic medical science of Ayurveda, or not. The book deals with:a) Finding out what body type you have, (vata-air, pitta-fire, kapha- earth/water) based on a questionnaire of health related questions b) It helps you determine what kind of diet you can follow to balance your system. c) It deals with common ailments as well as major diseases, covering everything from arthritis to AIDS d) You can learn how to use chants, colors etc to relieve stress. And that s just section I. In section II, it deals with the technical preparations with the use of various herbs, oils etc, which ayurvedic doctors use. Thus this book is a comprehensive study of Ayurveda, which can be used to good effect by both the layman and the ayurvedic practitioner.

Comprehensive.,
By Pema Norbu (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ayurvedic Healing: A Comprehensive Guide (Paperback)
I agree entirely with the other reviewers. This is one of the most complete, easy to understand, information rich "guides" on Ayurvedic Medicine I have read. Having taken many courses in this field, and using the practice, I have read much. I could have started with this one and kept it as a reference for the others! I highly recommend this one for anyone interested in Ayurvedic Medicine, from the practitioner to the remotely curious.
