Ayurveda: The Divine Science of Life Review


Ayurveda and its principles have been gradually becoming more
accessible to Westerners over the last thirty years. During this time,
a few books have appeared by Westerners on the topic offering an
overview of the field, a few have described materia medica in
Ayurvedic terms, and a few texts from India may be available. To date,
however, there has not been a single comprehensive textbook on the
topic written for the Westerner, by a Western clinical practitioner.
Todd Caldecott's book now fills that gap, and also corrects some
common misconceptions about Ayurveda.
Ayurveda was a dying medical system in India by the turn of the
twentieth century, preserved in a few family lineages in South Asia,
but largely supplanted by British colonial medicine and, in parts of
India, by Unani Tibb. After Indian independence in 1948, there was a
resurgence of interest in this traditional national system. The
resurgence unfortunately was not based on the extant thin lineages of
clinical practice, but on books, and filtered through the lens of a
sometimes-fundamentalist approach of twentieth-century Hinduism. Two
aspects of the resurrected Ayurveda as taught in North America are at
odds with the authentic original tradition. First, original Ayurveda was not a vegetarian system, contrary to common contemporary practice in North America. Second, the pulse diagnosis system in Ayurveda does not
differ essentially from the Chinese system. Caldecott, who was trained in a legitimate lineage in India, practices now in Canada, and supervised a teaching clinic there for some years at the Wild Rose College in Calgary, has corrected these distortions. This is not just a philosophical consideration. Fewer than 3% of the North American population adhere to a strict vegetarian diet, and insisting on this as the ideal diet, besides contradicting core original Ayurvedic literature, essentially rules out benefit to much of the other 97%. Caldecott's text shows how the broad principles of Ayurveda can be applied in the social and dietary realities of 21st century North America.
The book has everything you would expect in a textbook of humoral
medicine: theory, constitutional considerations, dietary and lifestyle
considerations, pharmacology and pharmacy, pathology and disease,
clinical methodology for assessment, therapeutic methods, a materia
medica of the fifty most important Ayurvedic herbs, and a formulary.

The Way of the Crucible Review


In a world with so much re-definition alchemy remains THE constant spiritual system. Why, because it is upon this spiritual science that modern secular science is based but not reliant in either direction. There are three foundations of modern western mysticism, Kablallah, and its separations into Astrology and Alchemy.

Alchemy is the one and only place in which all world spiritual systems may survive the 'shock,' of technology, not only by the fact that alchemy precedes it, but also defines it.

You will find the reasons in this authors works. This current is a theoretical treaties, but also a definite insight for valuable growth.

I cannot express its usefulness in any tradition.

Panchakarma-Ayurveda's Mantra of Rejuvenation Review


Excerpts from the Foreword given by Dr.Hameed Khan, National Institute of Health, Washington, D.C.

"For five thousand years the people of India and China have been using a variety of plant products to treat almost every disease know to mankind.Why has this art of healing survived millenia?Because it works.Modern science attempts to explainn how it works."

Panchakarma means "five actions".This is a five pronged method of treatment designed for shodhana,the expulasion of disease causing toxins.Panchakarma is intended not only for the elimination of toxins but also for the replinishment of the tissues.Other tonics are prescribed after Panchakarma to rebuild the organism and rejuvenate the patient.

Abundant with rich colour photographs this book is a must for those interested in Ayurvedfa.
