"Hakim Chishti has distilled the essence of healing into this comprehensive text . . . this book is indispensable for anyone interested in traditional medicine."

"Chishti builds on Avicenna's approach, bringing extensive knowledge of the original Persian texts to his own experience in Unani natural medicine. Included is a wealth of information on the metabolic value of foods, the role of exercise and rest, the cycles of fevers, classification of pain and pulse diagnosis."

"A serviceable history of classical herbal medicine . . . still used by over half the world's population . . . a practical manual."
