The Yoga of Herbs: An Ayurvedic Guide to Herbal Medicine

Very details and helpful for home remedies

I have used this book for decades. There is much wisdom in it and it is beautifully written with tripartite language

I am very pleased with this book. It is packed 252 pages on Ayurveda and the herbs. There are monographs on many herbs of india, China and Europe. Reason I bought this book is it covers Ayurveda medicine background plus herbal energetics and constitution of doshas. The tables and charts are clear and very helpful. There are more modern updated herbs like Aloe, wild carrot along with traditional Ayurveda herbs like anise, bala and saffron. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Ayurveda or a herbalist like myself wanting to learn about Ayurveda doshas and herbs that are used.

A solid book to have apart of your herbalism book collection. Easy to read and understand and a go-to book to reference.

Part of a complete Ayurvedic education. Very helpful reference!

Great Ayurvedic reference. Unfortunately many of these herbs are hard to find. Unless you have some training in Ayurveda it can be difficult to use because some herbs contradict each other in terms of doshas and herbs are often used in groups. Using them on their own without adequate knowledge could make one worse.

As a student of Ayurveda, the Yoga of Herbs by Dr. Frawley and Dr. Lad were excellent coverage of herbs, not only Ayurveda but reference to the Chinese herb name as well. I will use this book frequently for reference in my Ayurvedic studies and will highly recommend the book to those who are looking for alternative therapies to allopathic medicine. It will always be my philosophy that we treat ourselves with a healthy lifestyle, healthy state of mind, and work towards living a life of higher consciousness. Dr. Frawley and Dr. Lad are experts in the field of Ayurveda and with mentoring such we have in them, our health issues would be far less just by following the use of herbs that the doctors have incorporated into the Yoga of Herbs.

"The Yoga of Herbs," is a practical opus, assisting one to understand how uncomplicated herbal self-help and self-healing can be. Further, this text also assists the serious student in a bit of astrology to understand the connection of herbs to various houses and elements of the zodiac houses which are fire, earth-water, air-either, to bring the "tridoshas" (the three body types-compositions we all have which must be in delicate balance for whole health), which is in fact the foundation of all spiritual traditions. Additionally, Vasant Lad provides the Sanskrit, for each herb for those who want to learn the parallel connection between the Ayurvedic Indian Eastern Tradition and the Western Tradition of healing. Thank you greatly Vasant Lad for this wonderful healing opus!!!!!!
