Description
Ayurveda, Secrets of healing is a seminal work, the basis of which is deeply rooted in the scriptural knowledge behind Ayurveda. Maya Tiwari demonstrates in meticulous detail the power of our own nature-based memories as the primal force of human healing. She introduces the ancient secrets of sadhanas, i.e. spiritual practices, therapies, remedies, diet and natural biorhythms--which, when applied, awaken the cognitive memories necessary to achieve our deepest personal healing.
Secrets of Healing is the most complete offering of the original cleansing and rejuvenative therapies, Pancha Karma, first taught and practiced by the ancient Vedic seers.
In this definitive work, Maya Tiwari is the first author to reveal these sophisticated and timeless healing processes in a way which is both comprehensive and readily adaptable to modern western culture
EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS
The book is most useful for the people who believe in nature's cure and Ayurveda.
-Uma Vasudeva, The Statesman, April 5, 1999
This book is valuable in its overall discussion of philosophy and then in its ability to adapt the philosophy to practical day-by-day activities which can be used by people in their own home and also by health care practitioners. The way we as humans relate to the world around us including the seasons of the year and the phases of the sun and moon is presented in interesting ways. I recommend this book not for casual reading but for in-depth study.
