Produktbeschreibung

Ayurveda may be the oldest form of health care in the world and is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." In Ayurveda, body, mind and consciousness work together in maintaining balance. Published studies have documented reductions in cardiovascular disease risk factors, including blood pressure and reaction to stress, in individuals who practice Ayurvedic methods. Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize research supporting Ayurveda. It reviews the current scientific information on major Ayurvedic therapies, evaluates the research data and presents it in an easily understandable form for Western researchers and Ayurvedic practitioners.
