This is a quick overview generalizing the Ayurvedic philosophy with some good tips, herbs, and supplements. Quick, short, summary style with a scientific base.

Pretty good reference. I think it could have been a little more comprehensive, though. I've had to augment it with other sources, and some of the basic herbs found in Frawley's Yoga and Ayurveda, eg, Arjuna, aren't included.
