Ayurvedic herbs, nature's medicine by Coriene R. White (Phoenix, AZ, USA)  5 Stars
August 12, 2009
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.

Good info on Ayurveda; Bad info on herbs by R. Wolin  2 Stars
March 12, 2009
I enjoyed the author's description of basic Ayurvedic Medicine (TAM) principles and philosophy; as for the monographs of herbs and their actions not so much. I own the 2nd ed. and found many problems with the Materia Medica of the book. When the authors describe Basil (Ocinum spp.)they misrepresent the plant as Tulsi which is actually Holy Basil (Ocinum Sanctum)- one of the most used plants in TAM; the adaptogenic qualities of Tulsi are not present in other types of Basil. Another misrepresentation is Hibiscus (Hibiscus Rosa-Sinesis) for which they use the wrong species of plant (actually Hibiscus sabdariffa) and the wrong part of the plant used (the flower is not used as the book says but the calyx); Wikipedia also states the Hibiscus Rosa-Sinesis flower is used to shine shoes and in devotions to the god Devi, not specifically for beverages as the Hibiscus sabdariffa.
Yes I did like the descriptions of TAM doshas and philosophy but if you wish to try the herbs mentioned in the book I recommend finding another book like those by Tillotson, Murray, Pizzarno, Gladstar, Hoffman or even Penny C. Royal for more dependable herbal monographs.

The best herb book i've ever read. 5 Stars
May 19, 2004
This is the best, bar none. It goes into detail with each herb, telling us the energetics of the herbs, in terms of ayurveda-the oldest system of popular standardized medicine in the world. Ayurveda literally means science of life. There is indepth information on the physical and psychological effects of each herb. It even tells you how the herbs relate to the chakras. Dr. Vasant Lad is the countrys' leading authority on Ayurveda (besides Deepak Chopra)and he got together with David Frawley-a very learned Vedic scholar to write this book. Together they make magic happen. This book is more than worth the money .
