The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies: Based on the Timeless Wisdom of India's 5,000-Year-Old Medical System

I was looking for exactly what the title says it is, and it is exactly what the title says it is, a pretty complete book of ayurvedic home remedies. Great index. It is great for beginners and a reference for any level of ayurvedic student. Vasant Lad's writing style is very appealing to me. It is laid-back, but informative. I feel like I am reading a book written TO ME by an old friend or relative. This is good writing. I also feel there is terrific information here. I have put into place several of the recommendations for my dosha, pitta, and am already getting great results. Overall, what I am most impressed with is Mr. Lad's writing style, so comfortable and easy to read. Mr. Lad shares the ayurvedic traditions with an air of authority whilst also managing to sound like he is letting you in on an ancient secret passed down from his family. Never, never, do I feel like I am stupid, reading this. Only that there is "this" to learn, take it or leave it, or use the information as it works best for YOU personally. This book is great and I see he has written other books, MANY other books, and I cannot wait to read them! Namaste to Mr. Lad, and to Amazon for having this book in their library.

I loved this book and the depth it goes to explain the magic of Ayurveda. It will be a great reference book. I don’t recommend the kindle version since it doesn’t have a table of all the diseases and medicines so when you need something you will have to scroll until you find it. That being said I’ll just share my thoughts on the fact that here in the west it seems rather difficult to implement all the medicines and treatments the book talks about. We are too used to rely in other means of healing and if you decide to commit to ayurveda just know it will take a lot of getting used to

I'm still reading it, just wanted to give it five stars. Ayurveda is so special. All i'll say is my general impression as well as my impression of the doshas. You could summarize ayurveda as "removing accumulated toxins and straightening out diet", which ENTIRELY encompasses all the most down to earth successful knowledge about health The reason I wanted to talk about the doshas is that, Imagine a world where ALL you knew was what went "into" your body, how it "felt", and what "came out" of your body. That is the entirety of how Ayurveda developed, and that is a sane approach to biology, right? There are just 3 doshas, and they certainly all refer to real forces in biology. Kapha refers to structure and lubrication, which sounds very vague, I know, but in ayurveda, what kapha usually refers to is nutritional deficiency, OR sufficiency. it's not some mysterious force, it's protein, fat, metals, vitamins... Pitta basically refers to digestion and metabolism, and how to not get too hot or too. The final dosha is Vata, which basically refers to Anything That Moves to promote health. It's an umbrella term whethever ayurveda realizes it or not. It goes for Chi flow, anything that moves via the blood, and avoiding lifestyle/dietary habits that might cause pooling and stagnancy on Any level. So that's cool, right? All three doshas refer to real things, and it was a biological science that was developed without knowing how every subtle function in the body works, but nailed a lot of it. This book is worth every penny. Modern western doctors suggest to us that health is an esoteric religion that only comes at high cost, which was a joke from it's birth, and of course, pain management became a priority over curing because of one motivating factor: dollar bills. So imagine a science of healing that developed without big monies involved and over (at least) thousands of years. Ayurveda and Chinese medicine are some of the only options for cures, not mere symptom management. These medicines did not develop with the focus of symptom management. A must have for any healthy household

This book was well organized and full of great information. The introduction is a wonderful overview of Ayurveda followed by an encyclopedia of illnesses and remedies. The book is full of information explaining the basic principles of Ayurveda, includes a survey to help you identify your primary dosha, explains how to stay healthy with diet, lifestyle and meditation and is overall a one-stop guide to living a happy life.

I have read your book seeking for ways to stay healthy during my old age. Your book provides great many ways to improve one’s health and gives simple Ayurvedic treatments for many ailments and diseases. It is an excellent reading and a book to keep. I wish you the very best for another such book. Great Reading!! Jayendra Singh Reader

I am still learning Ayurvedic medicine, and this was good basic knowledge and information. I liked most of the recommendations for menopause and they seem to be helping so far. Good reference book.

I bought this book originally out of curiosity. Last month I developed a kidney stone. This book helped me to dissolve it with watermelon juice and malted barley. I love both! Some of the herbs can be hard to find, thankfully they included a list of suppliers in the back of the book for everything. Or usually Amazon has everything.

I loved every page of the book, offering natural and herbal healing remedies for every ailment and health condition. I recommend the book to all people who believe that health is their birth right.

Me encantan los remedios de Ayurveda y sobre todo cuando encuentras específica a que tipo de dosha es cierto síntoma. Totalmente recomendable.

Um livro muito bom para quem quer conhecer o Ayurveda. Claro, linguagem objetiva.
