Photographs of more than 80 herbs and yoga postures round out this home reference and teaching tool.

Reviews

""The Ayurveda Encyclopedia" is an important reference volume for all students of Ayurveda and Yoga, almost a complete course in Ayurveda in itself. Swami Sada Shiva Tirtha has done a monumental work in putting together so much material in such a concise and clear manner for the modern reader." --Dr. David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri), author and director, American Institute of Vedic Studies
