Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

There is enormous interest in Maharishi Ayur Veda (MAV), or Indian Traditional Medicine, in the USA, not least because of its incorporation of Transcendental Meditation. However, this is not the only therapeutic aspect of MAV. In the 1950's the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi collected information from the classic texts and formed a modern, coherent approach (first published in the West by Penguin). A large amount of medical and science-based research has been undertaken specifically on aspects of MAV. This book aims to present a coherent exploration and review of both the principles and practice of MAV, as well as the research outcomes which support and illuminate practice. It is not a treatment manual, but it does present a foundation for understanding the principles and practice of MAV, both within specific medical specialties and generally in health promotion and disease prevention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, simple but very deep, July 21 2003
This review is from: Contemporary Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda (Paperback)
This is one of the books that I used in the Diploma of Maharishi Vedic Approach to Heath that I did in Australia in 1998.
Amongs all the book that I read this is one of the best.
It is well written, simple (if you donno anything about ayurveda) but goes quiet in to dept.
Very very good book.
I suggest it to everyone, from the person that never read anything about ayurveda to the person who already have some knowledge and whish to explore the purity and simplicity of Maharishi Ayurveda.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good combination of practical & scientific, Sep 26 2002
By 
"anna_chetwynd" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda (Paperback)
I bought this book on Amazon after it was recommended to me by a local medical doctor who is also trained in Ayurveda and incorporates Maharishi Ayuvedic practices in his clinic. I have been frustrated with the bulk of Aurvedic texts available on-line and in my city, which barely skim the surface of Ayurveda and certainly don't attempt to review the scientific literature on Ayurveda. I found this book to have a reasonably good coverage of the history of Ayurveda, a quite good presentation of the theoretical base of Ayurveda (though they perhaps go a bit over the top trying to link quantum physics to Ayurveda-- I myself am not trained in quantum physics, and I respectfully doubt the authors are...), and a good coverage of practical Ayurveda, with a liberal and much-appreciated sprinkling of well-documented references to the scentific literature on Ayurveda. Recommended for those who'd like to have a solid base on which to build their study of Ayurveda.

3.0 out of 5 stars good effort for Ayurveda, Jun 20 2000
This review is from: Contemporary Ayurveda: Medicine and Research in Maharishi Ayur-Veda (Paperback)
i was thinking that there is nothing to read about ayurveda through internet. no one site shows any hing about the oldest method to live healthy and balance therapy to treat the disased without harming as modern medicine does. i would like to suggest maharshi that there must name of aaurveda seperately on each search engine like YAHOO,MSN,NETSCAPE,AOL ANDetc. i am pleased with the effort.
