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!!

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.

I looked through over 10 different books about Ayurvedic principles. Lad's book was the most readable and helpful for the nutritional concerns and health issues that I experience in my life. I know that I will use this resource on a regular basis.
