Ayurveda is an ancient system of health care that developed in
India several thousand years ago. Allied with the spiritual
philosophy of Hinduism, Ayurveda is a practical and inclusive
system of health care orientated to the prevention and treatment of
disease through the observation of important principles found in
biological systems. This unique one-of-a-kind book is a
comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of Ayurveda,
and discusses the practical use of therapies such as diet,
exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, and herbal remedies. The book
also includes detailed information on Ayurvedic pharmacology and
pharmacy, clinical methods and examinations, and general treatment
protocols. The final section provides a comprehensive materia
medica of 50 Indian herbs that include botanical descriptions,
traditional Ayurvedic knowledge, constituent data and latest
medical research, as well as clinical indications, formulations and
dosages. Helpful full-color insert containing photos of the 50
herbs covered, alongside a ruler for scale, allows the reader to
quickly identify herbs correctly. Includes useful appendices,
including information on dietary and lifestyle regimens, Ayurvedic
formulations, Ayurvedic weights and measures, glossaries on
Ayurvedic terms, and medical substances. Unique contributions
include a discussion of pathology, clinical methods, diagnostic
techniques, and treatment methods from an Ayurvedic perspective.
