Ayurveda is at once a science of life and a system of medicine. In both these aspects it emerges as an integral science whose object is to treat the person as a whole.

A Handbook of Ayurveda is intended as the first in a series of course books on Ayurveda which can be utilized with great profit by the assiduous student of Ayurveda, the medical practitioner, the specialist as well as the average housewife or layman who wishes to lead a harmonious life in tune with the nature.

This beautifully designed Handbook is profusely illustrated with diagrams, charts, line drawings and plates which provide the reader with a visual presentation of nature’s bountiful resources that can be utilized to alleviate human suffering and benefit mankind.
