Textbook of Ayurveda, Volume Three: General Principles of Management and Treatment
One of Dr. Lad's favorite sutras from Charaka says that a true physician knows the body, mind, thoughts, feelings, and consciousness of the patient. Unless you enter the heart of your patient with the light of awareness, knowledge, compassion, and insight, you will not be able to diagnose their problem and treat the person accordingly.
Dr. Lad's students from all over the world learn Ayurveda, step by patient step, grounding their knowledge in the principles of a system that pre-dates Western medical concepts by thousands of years. Next, they learn the sophisticated methods of evaluation that Ayurveda provides. Mastering these techniques takes practice and dedication. The previous steps, well practiced, have prepared the student to enter into the next stage, where they can stand beside the client and guide them on their journey of healing.

One of the best books I have ever purchased
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.
Important information - everyone should read!
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 !
Very helpful for the general public.
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.
I recommend getting all three
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.

Loved this textbook
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 book easy to follow with extensive source of information.
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.
Five Stars
