A good book

Each topic is worth reading and practicing

Pandit Frawley writes with the clarity of a clear vision.

As I always try to point out health cannot be achieved by studying anatomy and pathology. Health is about finer aspects. The true healer tries to heal by rectifying imbalances and suggesting changes in diet, lifestyle, thinking habits, and more. Unnecessary interventions are rarely required as disease is the body's way of both conveying that things are wrong, and trying to rectify the imbalance. The healer will therefore rectify the imbalance and help the body complete the process by strengthening the vitality of the one suffering. But disease is also much beyond what can be seen on the surface. Our suffering can be traced to several factors and therefore the one suffering needs to know more and find a way out of the suffering. That way can also lead to liberation from the cycle of birth and death which is the aim of the Vedas, ayurveda dealing a bit more with the physical and mental suffering part. This wonderfully written and lucidly explained book is both for the perplexed physician and also for the suffering multitude seeking a way out. I heartily recommend this book to one and all.

very poorly written content

I was shocked when I saw the wealth of knowledge this book contains. It is truly invaluable and anyone interested in Ayurveda should definitely read this boo. It really is an unbelievable book that really ties together the other aspects of ayurveda. In and of itself it is a masterpiece in blending different healing modalities!

Very good book, discusses the integration of karma, Ayurvedic concepts, and Eastern methods to explore psychological health. Very good for both professional counsellors and spiritual people interested in looking at their self and others from a different perspective.

Very good
