Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Ayurveda into Western living involves understanding a new language, new philosophy and new lifestyle, not an easy task. However as an instructor, I quickly discovered that the wisdom is worth pursuing; following this modified basic wisdom taught in the accompanying class became an easy task. As an instructor of the introductory Ayurveda class, I re-named the body's three energy flows based upon Ayurvcda Sanskrit terms. The Sanskrit terms -- Vata, Pitta and Kapha became the appropriate Western functions - movement, processing and storage. Ayurveda Demystified helps an individual identify their personal dominant energy flow. With this knowledge, they can look for and apply the best remedies or foods for a healthy body. The next step is a choice. Do they stay with this amount of information or expanding their knowledge?

Download or read book Ayurveda A Way of Life Scientific Explanation of Ayurvedic Wisdom and Its Benefit for Body Mind and Society written by Vinod Verma and published by . This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ayurveda: A way of Life has been the first book ever that explains the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in terms of modern science. It was published in India in 1990, thereafter in various European countries and America. It is a scholarly book that is meant to give the reader an insight into the classical tradition of this 5000 years old discipline. At the same time, the book is a guide in the living tradition of Ayurveda and inspires one to assimilate this age-old wisdom into daily life for enhancing energy to the optimum level. The book also highlights Ayurvedic psychology and importance of sattva (inner peace and stillness) and santosha (sense of contentment) in order to ward off the ailments. Modern medical research is directed toward finding cures for diseases, but there is little talk about finding methods to maintain good health and adopting preventive measures to avoid various ailments. Healthy living and preventive measures are not a part of the medical education. In Ayurveda, the principal focus is on maintaining good health and adopting a healthy way of living. The second important drawback in modern Western medicine is that it treats all human beings the same way. Individual differences and individual constitutions are not taken into consideration. We differ as much inwardly in our reactions and responses to a given treatment as we vary in our external appearance and personality traits. In Ayurveda, individual variations are taken into consideration and health care and treatment are based upon the individual constitution. Ayurveda is an extensive and vast source of knowledge. This book is only an introductory guide to the Ayurvedic way of life. Day-to-day practices and what we can do for ourselves in order to keep good health and bring harmony in our lives are described. Various methods for self-diagnosis, for curing minor ailments through simple measures, for preventing disease, for making simple herbal medicines, and for inner and outer cleaning of the body are discussed here. Every practical detail is explained and information about the availability of various products is provided. Ayurvedic medicines are not limited to the herbs that grow in India (especially in the Himalayas) where the original literature of Ayurveda was compiled. Identification of the herbs according to taste and other properties of the drugs are explained in detail. This book is written to help people become conscious of their health-to make them aware that a little care can save them from minor health problems, as well as from long-term health hazards. With the increasing number of ailments and a universal rise in health care costs, it has become more and more essential for each individual to make a personal effort to maintain good health. The old wisdom of rishis (sages) teaches us the use of preventive measures and mild medicine for maintaining good health instead of waiting until body and mind are exhausted and there are major disorders in the organism. The purpose of this book is to present methods people can use to improve the quality of life. For this, it is essential to begin from a new beginning. We live our lives in bits and pieces, fragmented in time, space, body, and mind. Therefore, to adapt Ayurveda in our lives, we just cannot start the application of its principles on our disintegrated beings. What I mean by a new beginning is that first we need to see and feel ourselves as a "whole," as a "unit," and an "integrity" and then we can realize our oneness with the cosmos. Holistic medicine is not possible without a holistic way of life. This book is presented in a way that will make us self-aware so we can realize our integrity as body, mind, and soul. This book is written for general readers who may not have any background of Ayurveda or medicine in general. A special effort has been made to explain the technical terms in an easy-to-understand manner. Comments and suggestions from readers are welcomed.

Book excerpt: The scores of books on herbs already available generally restate old, often outdated lore about herbs. Now, Herbs Demystified does something entirely different: It is the first book to explain exactly what herbs actually do inside our bodies and how they achieve their effects. Biochemist Holly Phaneuf covers 100 of the most popular herbs-astragalus, black cohosh, chamomile, echinacea, garlic, gingko, ginseng, milk thistle, pine bark extract, saw palmetto, valerian, and many others. Phaneuf's introductory overview lays out the basic chemical principles that underlie the journey herbal molecules make in our bodies. Then, for each of the herbs, she covers its history and folklore; explains what the herb really does-its evidence of action; its good uses and not so good uses, including the forms in which it is typically available and commonly reported dosages; interesting facts and the bottom line. Like no other herb book before, Herbs Demystified allows readers to custom-fit an herb to one's own particular concern, therefore minimizing trial and error.

This book was released on 2008-11-25 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable progress has been made in our healthcare system, in particular with respect to sensitive diagnostic tools, reagents and very effective and precise drugs. On the other hand, high-throughput screening technology can screen vast numbers of compounds against an array of targets in a very short time, and leads thus - tained can be further explored. In developing countries, the exploding population exerts pressure not only on natural resources but also on the human population - self, whose members strive to become successful and advance in society. This leads to increased blood pressure, anxiety, obesity-associated lipid disorders, cardiov- cular diseases and diabetes. Most of these diseases result in disturbed family life, including sexual behaviour. Despite technological developments, herbal drugs still occupy a preferential place in a majority of the population in the Third World and terminal patients in the West. Herbal drugs, in addition to being cost effective and easily accessible, have been used since time immemorial and have passed the test of time without having any side effects. The multitarget effects of herbs (holistic approaches) are the fun- mental basis of their utilization. This approach is already used in traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda, which has become more popular in the West in recent years. However, the integration of modern science with traditional uses of herbal drugs is of the utmost importance if ones wishes to use ancient knowledge for the betterment of humanity.

Download or read book DEMYSTIFY written by Rajan Dubey and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A phenomenal journey of unveiling the Scientificity of Homoeopathy that has been mysteriously masked since time immemorial.” This book unfolds the latest, astonishing evidence-based discovery as to how foreign exogenous proteins are capable of disrupting the homeostasis of our body and predisposing it to chronic diseases or chronicity. Dr. Hahnemann has strongly asserted that, “Treat the person as one whole and not his individual parts”, which holds true because when a person falls ill, it’s the interior that gets disturbed first. This disturbance not only disseminates to the functional unit of the body, i.e., the cells, but also pervades the proteins, which form a major constituent of our body. Dr. Rajan Dubey, renowned for his scientific and evidence-based writing, has described the intricate process by which protein disturbance occurs and chronicity commences in our body. He also accentuates the role of external influences like emotions, diet and environment in governing our DNA and genes, whereby exciting and maintaining the disease process. To substantiate the scientificity of the Theory of Chronic Diseases proposed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann and also to facilitate its easy and practical utility even in today’s era, we took up a retrospective study of a random sample of 30 patients from a pool of around 10,000 patients visiting MEDIGENE HOMOEOCARE, our clinical institute located in Mumbai. The purpose of the study was to trace down the precursor leading to chronicity in each patient. Amongst these, 10 cases are explained in complete detail to serve as a practical guide to the readers. An insight into the remedies, holding close proximity to the case and the differentiation between them, has been imparted as well.

Download or read book Demystifying Brahminism and Re Inventing Hinduism written by Satya Shri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Religion is a tool in the hands of the oppressor against the oppressed solely because he frames the commandments and calls them the God’s’, is an apt description of the Hindu social order. The book rips open the raw nerve of Hinduism—its invidious castes, positioned as a ‘God-ordained’ institution, commandeered by its freebooter priestly class while clandestinely establishing its religious, social and political hegemony through interpolation of its pristine and effulgent scriptures. The author boldly analyses this imbroglio through a microscopic analysis of these and more related issues: • How priests controlled the Hindu religious, social, educational and political apparatus? • How the dominant priestly class fractured the society into mutually antagonistic subordinated hierarchical segments, and ruled it by reserving all elite jobs for itself? • How the fiendish priesthood emasculated shudras by depriving them of the ‘shaastra and shastra’ (education and arms) and made them permanent ‘village servant classes’? • How the pretensions of attaining siddhis through 'meditation and penances' established priests as the ‘gods on earth’ for their assertions of ‘purity and effulgence’? • How ‘karma’, ‘reincarnation’ and ‘84-lakhs births’ theories were devised to justify fatalism and hierarchical gradation of varnas? • Can India be rightfully called the ‘vishvaguru’ and the mother of all civilisations? • How Buddhism effeminated Hindus and made them the doormats for the ruthless? • Why Hindus had to abandon their own, to adop foreign institutions of governance? • Why Hinduism should become a universal and proselytising faith and fight demographic challenges posed by Islam and Christianity?
