Book Description

Preface

Knowledge of Ayurveda is vast like a sea; there is no end to it. After studying academic Ayurveda for ten years and practicing Ayurveda since 1995, still I can not say that I have learned even fifty percent of Ayurveda. There is much more to learn. I have met some old vaidyas (Ayurvedic doctor), who were practicing Ayurveda since fifty years but still they used to read some text of Ayurveda. Because whenever you go through any Classical Ayurveda text like Charak samhita or Sushruta samhita, every time you find new meaning of shlokas (verse), they content such a deep knowledge in them. So it is difficult to over the sea in small bottle, we only can have a glimpse of sea, in the bottle, filled with sea water. Same with this book "Your health and Ayurveda". Some patients and seekers of ayurveda, who wanted to know basics of ayurveda and general information about health care, they were insisting me to write small book, which contents basics of Ayurveda and knowledge about maintenance of health without use of medicine. So after one year this book is ready for the readers.

This book is divided in four sections.

A. What is ayurveda- This section contents information about the basic principles of ayurveda like Panchamahabhutas. Trigunas, Prakruti. Tridoshas. Agni, Dhatu etc. After knowing basic principles and terminology of ayurveda, it is easy to understand the other chapters.

B. How Ayurveda is Useful- This chapter contents information about how Ayurveda is useful in maintaining the health of a healthy person. Under this we have described daily regimen, insuppressible urges, seasonal regimen. Rejuvenation, social regimen, ethical practices and information about food, sleep. Control of senses. Yogasana. Pranayama and meditation.

C. What is in my Body and Mind-Under this section a brief knowledge of Anatomy and physiology of every system of the body and also the detail about mind (manah) is given. The knowledge of anatomy clears the picture of body in one's mind. The knowledge about mind and its tendencies increases your understanding about your own thoughts and emotions.

D. What makes Ayurveda unique- Under this section we have included knowledge about the special diagnosis methods of ayurveda, the unique ways of treatment in ayurveda. Brief information of Panchakarma therapy. Also we have given house hold remedies for some common disorders, some information about beauty care, healthy food recipe.

Most of the ayurvedic and Sanskrit terms are given in italics. At the end of the book meanings of some ayurvedic terminology are given under Glossary.

After reading the book if you feel any more things should be added or you wants to clear your any doubt about ayurveda, you can write me through email.

We are introducing the second edition of this book, the all credit goes to the feedback given by several readers of the first edition. So I request for feedback to all the new readers, so necessary correction can be done in forth coming editions.
