I just discovered some benefits of ayurveda but I do not know almost anything about this; and in order to live better I would like to arrange my routine (food, time, habits, etc.) as it is prescribed for my main dosha.

To accomplish this I would appreciate it if you cold recommend me any extensive good book to buy in Amazon about this beautiful topic.

  • Ayurveda Encyclopedia by Swami Sadashiva tirtha can be used as reference. But even good book for beginners.

  • ayurvedic although an ancient Indian cultural tradition, is not part of the Hindu religion.

BhAvaprakAsh (by BhAva Mishra) is a good (probably the best) book on the subject.

It can be bought here (Original Sanskrit+Hindi translation). Or from here (Original Sanskrit+English translation). Plenty of options to choose from here.

About the book:

Bhava Prakash (14th century) This is the most important text, written by Bhava-Mishra on the information of plants and herbs, which are widely used in Ayurvedic formulations.

Source- This page.

I myself do not have the book, but i have other books that cite this book often. and, that's how i got aware of it's existence.
