The recent WHO report says that 70% of the world population is using herbal medicines for their primary health care. In last decade the use of herbal medicines increased tremendously.
Many books have been written on Ayurveda medicine but most of them for health professionals. There are few books which addresses the primary health care needs of layman. To fulfill this need, I wrote this book, containing simple and effective home remedies which are available in the local market and online stores. These home remedies have been practiced since more than 2000 years. I hope the readers will satisfy and will get perfect health by adopting the remedies, regime and diet described in this book.Dr. Vasant Patil graduated from SVM Ayurvedic College, Ilkal affiliated to RGUHS, Bangalore.
