Anatomy and physiology in Ayurveda are based on the body's function
rather than structure. Eventually both are of equal importance.
Nevertheless, this fundamental difference is primary in
understanding the logic of Ayurvedic medicine as a whole. This
textbook is written for the Western student of Ayurveda who lacks
the cultural context of India - the context that views the body,
and creation in general, functionally. Many different details on
Ayurvedic physiology are clearly distinguished from Ayurvedic
anatomy in this book. Most books on this subject are either
obscure, overly detailed, disorganized or confused. The goal of
this textbook is to help students and practitioners of Ayurveda to
better grasp the functional vision of Ayurveda through a logical,
liner presentation of anatomy and physiology. The author of this
textbook is a practitioner since 1987 and teaching since 1994. This
unique combination allows the author, Vaidya Atreya Smith, to
clearly explain the basic principles of Ayurveda. Once these
concepts are thoroughly learned the following subjects of
pathology, diagnosis and treatments become easy. In this book the
Western student of Ayurveda will find a user friendly guide to
de-crypt the profound ancient wisdom that is Ayurveda.
