Ayurveda. The Indian Art and Science of Medicine. What is Ayurveda? Literally, it means "The Science of Life," (Ayur+ Life, Veda + Science). But this traditional Indian system of medicine covers not only the knowledge of life, but the knowledge of healthy living as well. The author, a prominent Ayurvedic physician, describes in a clear and straightforward manner the complete range of Ayurvedic techniques, with special references to modern applications. A partial listing of contents includes: * The Five Element Theory; * Anatomy in Ayurveda; * The Tridosha Theory of Vayu, Pitta and Kapha, which in normal balance sustain health, while their imbalance causes the physical unhappiness known as "Roga" or disease.; * Examination of a patient and principles of treatment; * The Art and Science of Pharmacy. - from Amzon
