Summary: Yoga of Herbs
Review: 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.

Summary: The best herb book i've ever read.
Review: 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 .
