A Thai Herbal: Traditional Recipes for Health & Harmony, by Pierce Salguero

A Thai Herbal is a practical and entertaining guide to the traditional Ayurveda of Thailand. The author's mission is to convey the traditional natural wisdom of ancient Thailand to the modern reader, and to do so in an accessible way. It contains a brief overview of the history, theory, and spirituality of traditional Thai medicine, but the focus of the book is largely on the application of these ancient ideas in modern Western life. A Thai Herbal is informative, attempting to translate ancient ideas into a modern context. It is practical, continuously falling back on useful considerations for the beginning practitioner in the West. But most of all, this book is fun, offering easy recipes for home remedies, beauty products, and cuisine that will make the world of Thai tradition come alive in our homes.
