Tao and Dharma: Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda

I am a yoga teacher and veterinarian. This book had a great descriptions of both ayurveda and TCM. I thought it had great depth, it looked at TCM in a number of cultures, almost like a medical cultural anthropology of TCM. The book a lso has a comprehensive comparison of the two systems of ancient medicine. I found this book to be useful for me as I begin my study of TCVM and continue my study of ayurveda.

excellent reference work. There are no other books I know that compare and contrast these two medical systems.Robert Svoboda is also one of the world's most respected writers on Ayurveda.

Great background on each modality and the similarities between them!

More philosophy than specific remedies

Fascinating comparison of Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic approaches to medicine.

This book has the information it promises, and excellently written to make the comparisons clearly understandable and very readable as well. Glad i made the purchase!

LOVED IT!!!

This book is very informative and useful in class

I am an Ayurvedist studying Acupuncture so this book is ideal for me. It presents a brief outline of both systems their similarities and differences. I particularly found the historical perspective interesting. I'm glad I learned Ayurveda first as the overall system is more profound and far reaching.

I received the book 2 days late.The book itself is excellent.

Nice introduction to to two types of alterantice medicines -- Ayurveda and TCM.
