Ayurvedic Healing: A Comprehensive Guide
Ayurvedic Healing presents the Ayurvedic treatment of common diseases,
covering over eighty different ailments from the common cold to cancer.
It provides a full range of treatment methods including diet, herbs,
oils, germs, mantra and meditation. The book also shows the appropriate
life-style practices and daily health considerations for your unique
mind-body type both as an aid to disease treatment and for disease
prevention.
This extraordinary book is a complete manual of
Ayurvedic health care that offers the wisdom of this ancient system of
mind-body medicine to the modern reader relative to our special health
concerns today. The present edition is a revised and expanded version of
the original 1989 edition, covering additional diseases and adding new
treatments.
Ayurvedic Healing is oriented towards the practical
treatment of disease. It is intended to serve as a handbook of Ayurvedic
therapy, mainly on herbal level. It also explains relevant dietary,
life-style and yogic methods to enhance herbal therapy, including the
use of oils, aromas, colours, gems and mantras.
On the first
level of treatment, Ayurvedic Healing outlines general constitutional
and life-style measures for health enhancement and disease prevention
and gives home remedies for common disease. We can treat many of our
disease ourselves or at least aid in their treatment. A few simple
therapies as part of our daily regimen can work wonders for countering
many health problems. Only when our life-style is out of harmony, do
severe diseases arise and professional health care becomes necessary.
On
the second level of treatment, Ayurvedic Healing provides specialized
medical knowledge and outlines specific remedies, including various
herbal recommendations. However, accounts of diseases and their
treatments are given here only in essence. Additional knowledge and
experienced practice may be necessary to deal with severe conditions,
acute symptoms or long standing complaints.
