Highly recommended

Being a manufacture of ayurvedic medicine I highly recommend this book as a very good source for understanding the properties of herbs according to ayurvedic principals.

Explains why some herbs work & others don't for you

Before I read this book I tried Echinacea for an illness because everyone knows it boosts immune system functioning. Well, not for me. This book cleared up alot of questions for me - there are herbs that are good for different body types - it explains it all simply & clearly.

This book is wonderful

This is one of my favorite herbals. It talks about the energetic properties of western, chinese and Ayurvedic herbs from the perspective of Ayurveda. It is especially valuable for those who practice Yoga. Every time I pick the book up I learn more. It is great.
