Reddit mentions of The Ayurveda Encyclopedia: Natural Secrets to Healing, Prevention, & Longevity

Totally forgot to reply to your message, sorry for the late reply :)

I've gained most of my knowledge regarding Ayurveda through a yoga teacher from India (she is a Swami) that lives and runs a Yoga center in my city (I'm from Europe), from a good friend of mine and the rest from reading various random articles on the internet and researching it for myself. So I'm not sure if I can recommend you any really good books, as I haven't read many on this topic myself.

I have partially read, found interesting and insightful and also heard good things about The Ayurvedic Encylopedia, by Swami Sadashiva Tirtra


Here are a few lists of Ayurveda books that I found that you may also find useful:

This is of course all mostly Ayurveda. I haven't really delved deep into Chinese traditional medicine yet, which is also very interesting to say the least (and offers its own insightful perspectives on healing).
