Charak Samhita English - #5962

I’ve been hearing about the Charak Samhita as one of the foundational texts in Ayurveda, and I want to start reading it. However, I’m looking for a Charak Samhita English version because I’m not fluent in Sanskrit. Are there good translations of Charak Samhita available in English that are easy to understand for someone new to Ayurveda? I’ve read that the Charak Samhita covers topics like doshas, herbal remedies, and various treatments. Does a Charak Samhita English edition include all of this, or are some sections left out? Also, are there any versions with commentaries that explain the context and practical applications of the teachings? Another concern I have is about authenticity. There seem to be many different translations of Charak Samhita in English. How can I tell which one is the most accurate and reliable? If you’ve read a Charak Samhita English version, I’d love to know which publisher or author you’d recommend. Lastly, is it necessary to read the entire book to understand Ayurveda, or are there specific sections of the Charak Samhita English that are more relevant for beginners? I’m particularly interested in understanding how Ayurveda approaches diet and disease prevention.
