Ayurveda: The Divine Science of Life

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

As a follow up to my last email (and in the spirit of shameless self-

promotion!), I thought it would be appropriate for me to let you all

know of the publication of my new book, "Ayurveda: The Divine Science

of Life." I believe the work to be a unique contribution to the

field of Ayurvedic literature, suitable for serious students and

practitioners alike.

 

This unique one-of-a-kind book is a comprehensive introduction to the

theory and practice of Ayurveda, and discusses the practical use of

therapies such as diet, exercise, yoga, meditation, massage, and

herbal remedies. The book also includes detailed information on

Ayurvedic pharmacology and pharmacy, clinical methods and

examinations, and general treatment protocols. Plus, a helpful

section provides a comprehensive materia medica of 50 Indian herbs

that include botanical descriptions, traditional Ayurvedic knowledge,

constituent data and the latest medical research, as well as clinical

indications, formulations, and dosages.

 

Key Features

• Helpful full-color insert containing photos of the 50 herbs

covered, alongside a ruler for scale, allows the reader to quickly

identify herbs correctly.

• Includes useful appendices, including information on dietary and

lifestyle regimens, Ayurvedic formulations, Ayurvedic weights and

measures, glossaries on Ayurvedic terms, and medical substances.

• Unique contributions include a discussion of pathology, clinical

methods, diagnostic techniques, and treatment methods from an

Ayurvedic perspective.

Dear

 

Sai Ram. Pronounced as Saayee Raam, it is a greeting, a mantra and

also a blessing from Sai Baba of Shirdi. I for one am happy for your

mail. I too would now like to indulge in a bit of self-promotion as a

book reviewer.

 

Dear authors, publishers, publicists, editors and reviewers and

finally readers need each other!

 

I request you to pl. check www.freewebs.com/svswamy and see my

profile as a reviewer. To see the reviews, pl. visit

 

http://swamyreviews.blogspot.com

 

If you would like your book to be reviewed, pl. contact me off the

list. I do have a backlog and may need a few months for doing it.

 

With best wishes,

 

Swamy
