In English, there are very few books on the subject of History of Ayurveda. This work lucidly covers the subject both at graduate as well as at the post-graduate level. For history of ayurveda there are 18 points in the BAMS syllabus and 13 points in the MD syllabus. This book covers both the aspects in a not too elaborate and not too concise form.
