The book delves into the ancient works of Pliny and Dioscorides, the venerated Vedas and Sanskrit texts on Yoga, the classics of acupuncture, and the philosophy of Chinese martial arts and the Japanese shiatsu to extract information that is proven and practical.
It includes many remedies still recommended by the vaids and hakims of India and Persia, the survival medicine of early explorers, hunters, and settlers, the experiences of medicine men of Pacific islands and the normad Bedouins, and the practices of countless unhearalded village healers from across the world.
