Product Description
Based on the ancient healing tradition from India that dates back thousands of years, The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies offers natural alternatives to conventional medicines and treatments with practical advice and easy-to-follow instructions. A leading authority in this field, Dr. Vasant Lad first explains the principles behind the science of Ayurveda, exploring the physical and psychological characteristics of each of the three doshas, or mind-body types--vata, pitta, and kapha. Once you have determined which type or combination of types you are, Dr. Lad helps you to begin your journey to the ultimate "state of balance" and well-being. The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies is an invaluable guide to treating common ailments and chronic problems with strategies tailored to your personal needs based on your dosha. Dr. Lad explains why certain imbalances often result in illness and shows you how to restore your body to natural order. You'll learn which traditional Ayurvedic remedies--herbal teas and formulas, essential oils, meditation, yoga--offer relief from a variety of conditions, such as cold and flu symptoms, headaches, toothaches, sore throats, high cholesterol, vision problems, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Lad also shows you how to use diet and specific Ayurvedic techniques to prevent future illness and to promote body consciousness and healthy living. The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies enables us all to experience the benefits of Ayurveda's healing properties that have been refined over thousands of years. All of the herbs, foods, and oils Dr. Lad recommends can be found in local health food stores or through mail-order catalogs. Complete with an extensive glossary and resource list, this is the definitive guide to natural, safe, and effective remedies, everyday keys to a lifetime of vitality and well-being.

Dr. Lad is a genius, and he is a gift to those of us who study ayurveda. This book is a great reference for finding ayurvedic solutions to common ailments. If you practice an ayurvedic lifestyle, you must get this book.

after thourghly reading this book, I find Author assumes you have complete knoweldge of Ayurvedic Herbs, Meidcine and mixes. I think a simple list of all Ayurvedic medicine need for household is required but missing in this book, which fails to make this book useful. You simply cant "run and grab" a herb whenenver you need.

Vasant Lad's The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies is a wonderful opus which provides both easy, straight-forward explanations for remedies while assisting the interested and engaged student to learn the sanskrit of the remedies from an Ayurvedic point of view. Specifically important is our "tridoshas," the three body types that we all have that must be in good balance for essential self-healing. Those who want to learn more about Ayurveda and its connection to astrology, the basis of all spiritual traditions, will connect the fire, earth-water, air-either connection of the four elements of the astrological chart and each person's temperament. Using one's own astrological chart, one can connect the ancient astrological - elemental philosopies to create greater understanding to one's more rapid self healing, not only of body, but of mind and spirit through understanding the greater connection we have to our inner being and others' health challenges. This is an opus for 'WHOLE HEALTH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Great gratitude to Vasant Lad for this greater enlightening work!!!!!!!!!
