Aus den Rezensionen:

"Der Autor hat in diesem Werk eine bedeutende moderne Dokumentation der Heilpflanzen Indiens vorgelegt ... Dieses sorgfältig recherchierte und editierte Referenzwerk füllt eine bisherige Lücke und bietet ... ein handliches und leicht verständliches Nachschlagewerk und eine große Informationsfülle zu dem wachsenden Interesse an indischen Heilpflanzen und ihren Potenzialen. Das Buch ... sollte als Standardwerk in den Universitätsbibliotheken stellen und eine große Leserschaft unter den Spezialisten, Lehrlingen und Liebhabern der Phytotherapie finden."
