Textbook of Ayurveda, Volume Three: General Principles of Management and Treatment

One of the best things that has happened in my life is the discovery and benefits of ayurveda. I wish I had known more when I was younger of course. This book along with the first two has given me the knowledge in my quest of a lifetime to live a vedic lifestyle of continuous transformation in all aspects of my life. All of the books have been packed with information on practices that are easy to begin to incorporate into our lives. Every practice has become routine. I feel so many areas of my life healing the further along this path I get. It makes me want to go back to school. I am a former massage therapist, nutritional therapist, Yoga teacher, Tai chi, etc. I have studied health, healing, spirituality and a multitude of other things throughout my life. I keep coming back to ayurveda time and again. This book along with volumes 1 & 2, make it so much more interesting, understandable, fulfilling. I am so grateful for them even though I am not enrolled in the program they are intended for. Thankyou Vasant Lad. Wish I could go study at the institute.

Love these books! I’m an RN,BSN from 8 generations of doctors - these books are amazing! Some of this is very old school that has been forgotten today and a lot is more advanced then western science. I am amazed at the wisdom found in these texts !

I just wanted to learn more and this was very helpful. I learned alot from this book. I am very happy to have purchased it for the useful information that was available in it.

Authorative and complete textbook for people who have some experience with Ayurveda already. A third book in a series - for serious students of Ayurveda, I recommend getting all three. For entry, general level, I suggest getting "Ayurveda, science of healing" by Dr Lad, Home Remedies or his cookbook.

A really good book to have if studying or practising Ayurveda. Really good book Dr Vasant Lad is an expert.

Both the content and the quality of this book by Dr. Lad are excellent!

I love this textbook. It goes into depth about disease process. It's well written and easy to understand (as long as you have the basics of Ayurveda of course!).

Excellent text book in all respects with extensive information about various therapies/chikitsa/treatments. Being an electronic engineer by profession, I still find this book very easy to follow and interesting. I am eagerly awaiting Volume 4 of this book from Dr Vasant Lad.

Amazing textbook for Ayurveda. Dr. Lad is the best! Thank you!

Amazing book! I couldn't believe that there were so many different ways of treatment thousands of years ago. Thank you Vasant Lad for sharing this immense knowledge.

This textbook has exceeded my expectations. If you are serious about Ayurveda, this is a true treasure. Thank you to Dr. Lad and to Amazon.

Great valuable content.

This is the most comprehensive book on this subject avalible in modern times. Still it's only a book, you'll need a teacher to actually show you how to apply the principles.

I’d like it Very much!!! Thank you.

Concise and easy to understand

very clear and easy to understand....but goes deeper into the richness of Ayurveda

I am so happy to have this information at my fingertips. This will be a resource for me for the future and invaluable to have easy access. Well written and comprehensive on the subject.

Simply profound!

Love the book

Good explanation of general principles of Ayurveda. It is a good to have book for Ayurveda Practitioners. The vernacular translations are really appreciated.

This is exactly what I wanted. Reviews topic I covered in training at wellpark with vijay and more. A perfect text book that will last for years to come.

Came fast

best textbook.

Great textbook for the Ayurvedic student

This was a gift for my son and he really likes it. This book will complete his set of three.

Dr. Lad's Textbook of Ayurveda Vol Three is a must read. The information is presented in a way that lends itself to comprehension and is a must read for anyone in the field. Once again Dr. Lad does an excellent job in presented such a valuable field of medicine.

The Textbook of Ayurveda (Volume 3: General Principles of Management and Treatment) is a continuation of Dr. Vasant Lad's two earlier works comprising this textbook series that includes volume 1 (Fundamental Principles, treating general principles of Ayurveda) and volume 2 (A Complete Guide to Clinical Assessment, addressing diagnostic modalities). Volume 3 deals with general principles of treatment and provides comprehensive and authoritative information on therapeutic modalities including diet and lifestyle management protocols, palliative and detoxifying therapies, subtle healing methods including individual rejuvenation protocols, yoga and pranayama practices, and herbal medical protocols as well as case management techniques. This book is divided into seventeen beautifully organized and easily followed chapters written in clear, straightforward language covering, respectively, the Ayurvedic management of diseases states and efforts to restore balance; Dosha gati (i.e., dosha movement); Diseases due to urge-suppression; Food as medicine; Lifestyle management; Palliative therapies; Cleansing therapies; Panchakarma; Subtle therapies; Marma therapy; Yoga, pranayama and meditation; Herbal medicine; Rejuvenation therapy; Management of the doshas; Management of the dhatus; Management of the srotam, and Management of pran, tejas and ojas. This book takes the science, art and philosophy of Ayurveda out of the context of its ancient and authoritative but rather inaccessible classic sources and places them in a systematic organization that is readily accessible to contemporary Western readers, explainiing where necessary Ayurveda's principles in terms of biochemistry and biophysics (inter alia) cognizable to Westerners. Dr. Lad provides comprehensive information on the therapeutic modalities of Ayurveda explaining thoroughly and clearly the theoretical underpinning and applications of each. This volume (and indeed all of the volumes of the series published to date) reflects a deep personal experience of and practical insights into Ayurveda that only one who has drunk deeply at Ayurveda's fount of wisdom could convey so effectively. I unhesitatingly recommend this book and its companion volumes of the series, for every student, practitioner and teacher of Ayurveda, as I feel certain they are destined to become the normative instructional text for English-language Ayurveda programs of study. Even were that not the case, they belong in the library of everyone with a professional interest in the subjects covered.

Most amazing books, I have all 3 volumes. All have so much knowledge of everything you need to know about Ayurveda. Definitely recommend it.

Dr Lad serves as a bridge between the matter or molecular science of the currently practiced medicine and the energy science of Ayurveda helping the reader and student understand the unique contributions of this deep science This and it first 2 books in the series serve as important reads for Western trained physicians interested in studying Ayurveda and for the health conscious consumer who wants to evolve her/his level of health

Dr. Lad was instrumental in introducing Ayurveda to the West. Over the past three decades has immersed us in the basics of Ayurveda and, with Volume 1, 2 and 3 of his textbooks, he is walking serious students of Ayurveda ever closer to being able to understand and practice more advanced Ayurvedic concepts and techniques. He is a rare and precious gift. All three volumes of his textbooks are reflections of this and essential for serious students of Ayurveda.
