This book is the first one I've read on Ayurveda which makes immediate sence. Written in a practical straight forward way, It is obvious the author genuinely cares about his readers.
I have tried several cures listed in the book, they have provided better and faster relief than any drugs. There is one for sinus headache (pg 250) that worked in less than 10 min. And the best story of all, is one he lists for food allergies which has allowed me to eat dairy and wheat again. This book has changed my life. I have been independantly studying holistic medicine for the past 9 years, and this book is a fast leap forward in my awareness of the field of alternative treatments.
I only hope to be able to meet Dr. Lad some day and offer my gratitude.

Sincerely

Eric Lloyd

This book is incredibly useful, and full of home remedies for a very wide variety of problems. I've tried many of them myself - for sinus troubles, insect bites, ordinary fatigue, and simple stomach complaints. It also has guidance on more serious issues, to be used in concert with a physician's medical advice. As a physician, I have over 20 "home medical guides" in my house, and I usually turn to this one first. I highly recommend it for any household.

I have been buying books on Ayurveda for several years. I usually read a little and then put them on the shelf. Not so with Dr. Lad's The Complete Book of Auyrvedic Home Remedies. I immediately adopted his simple morning routine, and it has helped me physically and mentally. I recommend this book to anyone interested in making a profound, positive change. It's practical and easy to follow.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is actively involved in attaining a good health or someone with health issues who is looking for a natural way to fix it. I have read this and many other books by Dr. Lad and also been to a 3 day health convention where he personally discussed the Ayurvedic ways of achieving perfect health. I cannot say enough about Ayurveda in general and the way Dr. Lad puts forth the information and it all makes so much sense. I have personally used his remedies discussed in this book for severe respiratory allergies, sciatica and common colds etc and it works!!!!! However, any user has to understand that these remedies are not like weatern medicine but they work as a life style change in terms of following a daily routine of life, watching your food combinations and knowing and eating according to your body type. I have recommended this book to many of my friends. I fact, I own 3 copies and keep lending two to friends and still have one for myself to consult.

This is probably the best book on ayurveda available today. It is clear, doesn't go into excessive detail, and gives you a wonderful sense of self-understanding. Dr. Lad has written other books as well, but this one is the most approachable.

Who would have thought that mixing a mashed banana with two very common kitchen ingredients would help with a little girl's cough? Or, that a tea containing cinnamon combined with two other tasty kitchen spices would reduce a little boy's fever?

Dr. Ladd's book is full of simple, home remedies that are wonderful for children and perfect for parents who are interested in natural home medicines for their children. Our family has used the recipies in this book extensively for both children and adults over the years with great success. If you are looking for a replacement for the standard over the counter drugs for kids, this is the book for you.

I really like this book! I like that it not only has information on Ayurveda in general, but also an "encyclopedia" of remedies. We've used many of the remedies with success and refer to it before other sources when there is a problem.

The only drawback to this book are the recommendations for herbs that are common in India but not so easy to get elsewhere. I can't locate many much less pronounce them. Hopefully I will find a resource for purchasing them so I can try out their effectiveness.

Definitely a book worth purchasing and keeping close at-hand.

For common ailments like sore throat, constipation, headaches.. ayurveda works wonderfully. Why spend $20 co-pay to your physician for these ailments when you can get the cure in your kitchen (e.g. honey, pepper, milk.. ). Its worth it!!

I was looking for book that captured many of the home remedies I grew up with as well as others that I don't know about, and this fit the bill. I love that most of the remedies use ingredients readily found in my Indian-influenced kitchen. The yoga and pranayama exercises are also quite useful, especially if you are already have a basic familiarity with yoga practice.

This book is well written and the author comes across as someone who truly cares.I've been into herbalism for a long time and decided to check into ayurvedic home remedies,I've had more relief from my pain in the past few weeks than I've had in years.Ayurvedic home remedies(all natural)teaches that you have to change your diet along with proper excersize..and the proper ayurvedic herbs that fits your constitution,does'nt that make sense.Just taking an herb without healthy living changes is not going to do all that much.It's important that you keep an open mind while reading this book,research the herbs if you are sceptical.Ayurvedic has been around for about five thousand years ,so I think you could say it's tried and true.This approach is much better than what some of the drug companies are putting out.Read the book!I keep going back to it again and again,however it's always best to work in concert with your Doctor.
