About the Book
The Herbal Sutra: Indian Wisdom and Wellness Through 100 Herbs is a journey into the heart of India’s herbal legacy. A stunningly illustrated compendium of 100 of India’s most illustrious herbs, the book documents their ancient wisdom, versatile applications and remarkable benefits.
From haldi (turmeric) – a powerful antiseptic that is widely used for beauty rituals and for its antiinflammatory goodness to jamun (Indian blackberry), a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants, and the kokum (butter tree) prized for its sweet and tangy taste, a reliable saviour from the summer heat, these herbs form India’s rich heritage, offering a wealth of benefits.
Harnessing the power of these herbs accompanied by illustrations that are inspired by India’s hand block printing tradition, this beautiful book sheds light on how to live better, eat better and make holistic choices using these sacred herbs that have been a part of our generational wisdom.
