Hardcover. Condizione: As New. From the Preface: Ayurveda has been in existence since the dawn of mankind. Atreya defined Ayurveda as the knowledge of life dealing with wholesome and unwholesome, happy as well as unhappy, qualitative and quantitative aspects of life. Life span is related to a balanced union of the body, mind and soul. The individual is an epitomized form of universe and is made up of nine basic substances panchamahabhutas (i.e the five primordial elements that include ether, air, fire, water and earth), Atma (soul), Manas (mind), Kala (time), and Disha (direction). Bharadwaja passed the knowledge of Ayurveda to Atreya, who in turn passed it on to his disciples, Agnivesha, Bhela etc. who wrote treatises on Ayurveda (knowledge/wisdom of life). This was the first integration of spiritualism with material and medical sciences. Sushruta, who belonged to Dhanwantari surgical school wrote a treatise on diseases requiring surgical intervention. Agnivesha tantra which mainly dealt subject of general medicine was redacted by Charaka and has become popular as Charaka samhitha. When some of the sections of the text were lost, Dridhabala (5 AD) rewritten those portions. He has introduced for the first time Namarupa Vigjnana (nomenclature and descriptive sciences) of medicinal plants in Kalpasthana which was unusual type of description in Samhitha literature. Basing on this observation, it can be concluded that Dhridhabala was the first and foremost lexicon writer (Nighantukara). During medieval India, Ayurvedic scholars have evinced keen interest in compilation of Nighantus and Yogasamgraha granthas. Initially the nighantus were written by enumerating synonyms only. e.g Ashtanga nighantu, Paryayaratnamala. Later nighantus namely, Dhanwantari, Sodhala, Kaiyadeva, Madanapala, Rajanighantu added pharmacological and therapeutic profiles of drugs and enlarged Ayurvedic materia medica by including certain new drugs.…

Accordingly a lot of treatment centers based on Panchakarma are mushrooming every nook and corner of the cities and towns all over the country and practicing without following the guidelines laid down by Acharyas of Ayurveda. Acharya Charaka has clearly stated that though these therapies are administered in a skillful manner; do at times fail to cure the diseases due to insufficient or excessive dosage or wrong time of administration.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Rasa Shastra is a well established branch of Ayurveda. No other branch is having as much as the literature the Rasa Shastra is having. This gives the impression that how important this branch is. There are certain books in Hindi, as per the regulatory bodies syllabus. Some works in English versions are also available. However no book has covered all aspects. In this attempt the author has tried to put his views and knowledge gained from his Great Gurus like Drs. Ch. Ranga Rao, M. Shankar Shastri, I. Ramakrishna, Profs. H.S. Sharma, D. Joshi and LK Dwivedi and his own observations in this work and made it a complete work. He tried to put his comments in the form of commentary- Parimi(ta) Bhidhini. It covered several aspects from different disciplines related to the subject for better understanding. Though it become an extensive work for undergraduates but still it gives immense knowledge to those who will do extensive studies as everything will be available at one place. For P.G students also it is very versatile book which not only enlightens but also makes the scholar a full pledged master in the subject. Apart from UG and P.G scholars it is book always needed by Researchers as well. It also fills the vacuum of not having proper book in English for the foreigners and the people from other disciplines especially to those who want to learn Rasa Shastra. The author, after lost his better half, wanted to give a tribute in her memory, put his pen in the form of this work. In this effort he tried to compile all relevant portions from various works to explain the underlying ideas of Rasa Shastra materials. Thus the book mostly covered all, apart from synonyms, types, ideal characters, Shodhana, Marana and other relevant portions from different literature, matters like geographical distribution, scientific parlance, historical importance, pharmacological, pharmaceutical and forensic toxicological points. …
