Ayurveda & Panchakarma
The area of Ayurveda known as Panchakarma is a comprehensive
system of knowledge and practices to purify the body of toxins and
restore it to balance with natural law.
This book reflects the way the original text of Ayurveda, the Charak
Samhita, first presented this knowledge. The first section explores in
detail the principles which define Ayurveda as a science of life and
health. The second section delves more deeply into the Ayurvedic
understanding and how to treat it. This section begins with an
elaboration of six stages of disease formation and then systematically
unfolds the knowledge of Panchakarma, the science of rejuvenation.
"This is an elegant exposition of Panchakarma presented by a
practising Ayurvedic Vaidya... . The writings are rendered more lucid
by the numerous tables, diagrams and black and white illustrative
photographs of the practical procedures. A bibliography, glossary and
an index lend an additional support." - Uma Krishnaswamy, The Hindu,
11th August 1998
Human beings are suffering despite access to technological advances
that offer the promise of unequaled improvements in our quality of life.
The flaws in our reliance on a materially-based approach to health are
increasingly apparent.
In this context, Ayurveda, the ancient system of healing from India,
has captured the attention and imagination of the West. The message of
Ayurveda is simple: health is more than the mere absence of a definable
disease; rather, it is the dynamic integration between our environment,
body, mind and spirit. The area of Ayurveda known as Panchakarma is a
comprehensive system of knowledge and practices to purify the body of
toxins and restore it to balance with natural law.
