This course is the result of 13 years of clinical research and 10 years of teaching experience. I have written this text book to help Western people truly understand the Ayurvedic method of using herbs. Most people in the USA and Europe simple use Indian herbs according to symptoms and declare that they are “practicing Ayurveda”. Since 1998 I have been teaching the correct way to use herbs and other substances to my students in France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The textbook includes 115 herbal monographs that explain in detail the chosen herbs according to Ayurveda. Additionally there are 45 herbal formulas indicated by disorders – each adjusted for vata, pitta, or kapha causes of the disorder.
