Download or read book Tibetan Ayurveda written by Robert Sachs and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the four levels of traditional Tibetan healing science with this preventive health care manual for people of any age, culture, and physical type. • Includes material on little-known therapies such as Pancha Karma and Kum Nye, as well as guidelines for nutrition, longevity, detoxification, and meditation. • Author has studied with many of the best-known Tibetan and Ayurvedic physicians alive today. Tibetan medicine was probably the first truly integrated system of ancient healing science. From the seventh to the tenth centuries, Tibetan kings encouraged physicians from India, China, Nepal, Persia, and Greece to teach their traditional medical sciences to Tibetan physicians, who at that time were primarily influenced by Ayurveda and shamanic healing modalities. This cross-cultural marriage of the greatest healing traditions makes Tibetan medicine ideally adaptable to Western health needs. Tibetan Ayurveda provides a comprehensive guide to the four levels of traditional Tibetan medicine with a wealth of traditional health practices and teachings. Much of the contemporary material on Tibetan medicine focuses solely on herbal medicine and acupuncture; Tibetan Ayurveda goes beyond these to look at other important forms of treatment such as Pancha Karma for detoxification and rejuvenation and Kum Nye for integrating mind and body. A self-profile test is included to allow readers to determine their own health needs and embark on the path toward realizing their full potential for health and well-being.
Book Synopsis Medicine and Memory in Tibet by : Theresia Hofer
Download or read book Medicine and Memory in Tibet written by Theresia Hofer and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only fifty years ago, Tibetan medicine, now seen in China as a vibrant aspect of Tibetan culture, was considered a feudal vestige to be eliminated through government-led social transformation. Medicine and Memory in Tibet examines medical revivalism on the geographic and sociopolitical margins both of China and of Tibet�s medical establishment in Lhasa, exploring the work of medical practitioners, or amchi, and of Medical Houses in the west-central region of Tsang. Due to difficult research access and the power of state institutions in the writing of history, the perspectives of more marginal amchi have been absent from most accounts of Tibetan medicine. Theresia Hofer breaks new ground both theoretically and ethnographically, in ways that would be impossible in today�s more restrictive political climate that severely limits access for researchers. She illuminates how medical practitioners safeguarded their professional heritage through great adversity and personal hardship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis Asceticism and Healing in Ancient India by : Kenneth G. Zysk
Download or read book Asceticism and Healing in Ancient India written by Kenneth G. Zysk and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 1998 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich Indian medical tradition is usually traced back to Sanskrit sources, the earliest of which cannot much antedate the common era. In this book Kenneth Zysk shows that Buddhist scriptures some centuries older than this contain abundant information about medical practice, and are our earliest evidence for a rational approach to medicine in India. He argues that Buddhism and the medical tradition were mutually supportive: that Buddhist monks and people associated with them contributed to the development of medicine, while their skills as physical as well as spiritual healers enhanced their reputation and popular support. Drawing on a wide range of textual, archaeological, and secondary sources, Zysk first presents an overview of the history of Indian Medicine in its religious context. He then examines primary literature from the Pali Buddhist Canon and from the Sanskrit treatises of Bhela, Caraka, and susruta. By close comparison of these two bodies of literature Zysk convincingly shows how the theories delineated in the medical classics actually became practice.
Book Synopsis Tibetan Medicinal Plants by : Christa Kletter
Download or read book Tibetan Medicinal Plants written by Christa Kletter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, modern medicine relies on so called traditional or ancient medical knowledge. Holistic practices such as adhering to proper diet, observing rules for appropriate behavior, and administering medical preparations are coupled with the latest technology and methods to treat the whole patient. In light of this trend, there is much to be gained from understanding of one of the oldest medical systems still in existence. Tibetan Medicinal Plants provides you a detailed analysis of how Tibetan plants are used in this centuries old system. The book opens with a summary of Tibetan medicine and covers the various habitats in which the plants are found. The main part of this volume encompasses 60 monographs listed by the Tibetan plant name. Each monograph consists of several chapters addressing different topics related either to the Tibetan or the Western approach. Most of the monographs contain a description of the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the used plant parts, and anatomical features of 76 plants are provided. Each monograph presents an overview of the known chemical constituents and pharmacological properties of each plant and describes their use in Tibetan medicine. In contrast to other publications on Tibetan medicine, where translations of the Tibetan terms are given in other languages, this book treats the Tibetan word as a technical term, keeps the Tibetan term and explains its meaning, lessening confusion by reducing the number of translations. Traditional Tibetan medicine has been in existence for centuries. Curative practices existed in the prebuddistic era, and the art of healing developed more than 2500 years ago. Tibetan Medicinal Plants provides a comprehensive overview of all plant types, thus making it easier to grasp the Tibetan concept. It gives you a comprehensive look at this centuries old science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite spectacular advances, modern medicine faces formidable global challenges in several key areas—notably the persistence of major killer diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, and newer threats including HIV/AIDS, resistant infections, and Ebola. As such, modern medicine has not led to a significant decrease in chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and other degenerative and autoimmune diseases. The authors believe that modern medicine needs to experience a paradigm shift, an integration of traditions—in particular from the ancient systems like Ayurveda and Yoga. Integrative Approaches for Health: Biomedical Research, Ayurveda and Yoga brings together the basic principles of interdisciplinary systems approach for an evolving construct of future medicine. Such an approach is already emerging at the cutting edge of current research in omics, bioinformatics, computational and systems biology. Several leading institutions of medicine have adopted Yoga and complementary medicine to widen their reach, and deepen effectiveness in therapeutic practices. The amalgam of modern medicine, with its strengths in scientific rigor, blended with the basic principles of life drawn from Ayurveda and Yoga might evolve into a medicine of tomorrow. Integrative approaches are no longer alternative, perhaps taking these approaches is the only possible way to heal our sick planet.

His presentation is delightfully complemented by many anecdotes drawing from the ancient lore of popular folk medicine in Tibet. For health care professionals, anthropologists, historians of medicine, medical ethicists, and the general public interested in Tibetan medicine, this book is a fascinating contribution by one of the foremost practitioners of Tibetan medicine in the modern world.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Myriad Herbs ( Medicinal Herbs in Tibetan Medical Tradition ) [Men-Tsee-Khang - སྨན་རྩིས་ཁང་།] written by Dr. Tsering Norbu and published by Mentseekhang Documentation & Publication. This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For beings pervading the limits of the sky, May I engage in as befitting a service. That I may duly accomplish my extensive prayer, O master Yuthok, may I become as great as you were! PREFACE Natural medicinal substances are indispensable sources for treating diseases as well as benefiting the physical health of human society. As early as the period around the 3rd century A.D., the use of natural medicinal substances in treating diseases like bleeding, wounds, etc. became widespread. Gradually, innumerable scholars came into being, out of which emerged Yuthok Nyingma Yonten Gonpo (706-832 AD), who is regarded as Tibet’s greatest physician. He had served as the personal physician to the king Choegyal-Me-Ook-Tsom, and compiled and wrote rGyud-bzhi or The Four Tantras (the fundamental texts of Tibetan medicine) around the 8th century AD. In the second tantra, The Explanatory Tantra, medicinal substances are revealed in the chapter, ‘The efficacy of Medicinal Substances.’ The period of 1654 to 1705 saw Tibetan medicine vividly illustrated through means of traditional Tibetan paintings by one of the greatest physicians cum astrologers, Desi-Sangey-Gyatso. The paintings also depicted how to correctly identify Tibetan medicinal substances; today it continues to serve as an important source of reference for both students and researchers. A total of 79 medicinal paintings were composed, creating a history through which the art of traditional Tibetan paintings are kept alive which has been a great accomplishment. Within the field of Materia-Medica, the study, collection, and process of turning natural recources into medicines, a major historical figure is the great scholar Deu-Mar-Geshe-Tenzin Phuntsok, born in 1673. He wrote extensively on the classifications, potencies and synonyms of more than 900 medicinal substances, which have more than one thousand subcategories or varieties, in a book called Shel Gong Shel Phreng. Not only did his book receive much admiration from scholars residing inside and outside of Tibet (for which we all Tibetans take pride in), his book has been considered one of the most important text that sets the standards for materia-medica. In the year 1883, the great scholar Khenrab Norbu was born, who was the personal physician to His Holiness the 13th Dalai Lama and was highly learned in both Tibetan medicine as well as astrology. He wrote and compiled two concise books on herbs and Khrog sman (raw and dry medicinal substances like herbs, minerals, etc., which makes a distinct sound “Khrog” when they are hit against each other), in which he included many new medicinal substances. Both books didn’t mention medicinal substances’ tastes, potencies, etc. However, referring to the teachings of some masters, there seemed to exist an elaborate book on medicinal substances where detailed explanations were indeed given on those subjects. That said, the book somehow got lost at some point and could not be retrieved. In brief, the identification and research on traditional Tibetan medicinal substances gained foothold to a great extent after 708 AD. All the works before then were made available in the commentaries written by the grateful and highly learned scholars whose names are aforementioned. For example, their commentaries, while based upon their own points of view, not only included the taste, potency and uses of medicinal substances of the high altitude regions of Tibet, various regions of India, China and neighbouring countries they also had mentions of numerous medicinal substances which have no habitat or resources in Tibet. The science of Tibetan Materia-Medica is so vast that all the potencies of specific medicinal substances were already finalized long before the dawn of the highly sophisticated scientific devices of the modern period. The Tibetan medical system explains that various factors like taste and potency of medicinal substances, and the nature of elements are involved in the formation of any substance. Besides this, the formation of taste and potency as well as how the potency of certain medicinal substances is able to cure the specific nature of diseases are explained, forming a scholarly documentation. While the scientists came to discover the potency of turmeric only recently, Tibetan medicine had already mentioned its potency hundreds of years ago. Hence, the potency of specific medicinal substances and their Medicinal uses for specific diseases mentioned in the Materia-Medica of the Tibetan medical system not only proves this as a standard treatise, but this knowledge of medicinal compounding which is now almost three thousand years old has evidence to show its ability to be greater in curing numerous chronic diseases as compared to other medical systems. In modern times, there has been widespread growing interest in natural medicinal substances. Many countries in the West have benefited greatly from Tibetan medicine for growing numbers of disorders like rlung disorder, nerve disorder and various gynaecological disorders. But the lack of awareness between scientists and practitioners of traditional Eastern medicine and the ban on natural medicinal substances being imposed by international laws has hampered the practice and growth of Tibetan medicine. Therefore, we need to find a solution to these obstacles from both sides of the debate: scientists and Tibetan medical experts. It is important that the potency of specific Tibetan medicinal substances be proven through scientific methods so that some medicinal substances could be approved for widespread use under international law. Creating awareness between the Tibetan medical community and scientists will not only bring advantages; the patient will also face less difficulty in choosing the system of medicine that would best suit their needs. In brief, my primary aim for writing this book is to introduce herbs without any faults to practitioners of Tibetan medicine from Tibet, the Himalayan regions and particularly to those who work in compounding medicinal substances. I also wrote this book to introduce correct identifications of herbs to fulfill the needs of researchers working on Tibetan Materia-Medica. All the medicinal substances growing in high altitudes mentioned in this book have been introduced to me by highly learned masters while I was studying Tibetan medicine at the medical college in Tibet. Based upon those masters’ teachings, I analyzed all the medicinal herbs which were successfully explored in and around the Himalayan mountains, which I have introduced here. Likewise, all the low altitude growing medicinal substances which have been identified in Tibetan medicine were successfully found in respected regions in the presence of an Ayurvedic doctor. Hence, putting aside all my strengths, talents and analysis, I have humbly tried my best to introduce the medicinal substances present in Tibetan medicine, along with their pictures. Moreover, I have tried my best to write down the differing tastes and potencies from various standard medical treatises, keeping in mind that this book, Encyclopedia of Myriad Herbs, may be used as a basis for analysis for others while identifying herbs.
Book Synopsis Managing the Post-Colony South Asia Focus by : Nimruji Jammulamadaka
Download or read book Managing the Post-Colony South Asia Focus written by Nimruji Jammulamadaka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book on South Asia is part of the book series “Managing the Post-colony.” This series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka and Gavin Jack and is focused on managing and organising within the historical and contemporary structures of colonization and imperialism within and across nation-states and social domains especially the economic and the cultural domain. This edited book on South Asia is committed to a presentation of indigenous understandings and knowledge around the organizing, religion, language and cultural production through the lens of anti, post and de-colonial thought. This book forces the reader to consider not just what we know but how and where we know and can be instrumental in identifying and challenging dominant modes of management knowledge production. The decolonial movement is closely associated with scholars like Walter Mignolo, Anibal Quijano and others who expose how Western rationality and science, emanating from the enlightenment project, are being used by colonial powers to consolidate their imperial projects. The authors in this book argue that a potent form of colonization is epistemic in nature. This book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical, interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience and theorization of managing and organizing in post-colonial location under conditions of coloniality. These conditions subsume ongoing and new forms of colonisation/imperialism, and complex resistances to them, and lives lived outside them, and may be drawn out and investigated in regard to a multiplicity of different business- and management-related topics. The power of domination is its ability to silence other ways of knowing, being and doing. Focus on South Asia: Ways of Managing, Organising and Living delivers a profound critique of Western management theory and its universalistic claims. But, it goes much further to advance other managements and ways of organising from the peoples and communities of South Asia. Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa I like very much the orientation and the composition of the volume...you have a) the meaning of management in the West changed after the Industrial revolution and by 1900 became a political issue domestically in the US and before that colonial, as you show in the colonial context of South Asia; b) so the constitution of the settler management as you show with McCaulay, destituted all existing local form of organizing their praxis of living; c) the task now is the reconstitution of the destituted, the pluriversal human (and animals too) self-organization subjected to Western regulations to their own benefit, while materializing their rhetoric of racial destitution (incapable of organizing like us, impossible for them to be like, us we have to teach them civilization, etc.).

Download or read book Atreya’s guide to Ayurveda Practice written by Vaidya Vasant Patil and published by Atreya Ayurveda Publications. This book was released on 2023-01-14 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ayurveda, the science of life, holistic medicine offers a complete solution with medicines, diet and lifestyle. The radical shift occurred in defining health encourages the medical fraternity of modern times to look deeply into empirically evolved ayurvedic techniques for the maintenance of positive health. The recent WHO report says that 70% of the world population is using herbal medicines for their primary health care. In last decade the use of herbal medicines increased tremendously. Safe and effective prescribing is a basis of proper patient care. Many pocket books or practical prescriber available for allopathic medicine in market but very few for Ayurveda. In order to fulfill this we have undertaken this task. In order to diagnose the disease on the basis of Ayurvedic principles, the physician should have to work very hard to know the subtle changes occurring inside the body due to the imbalance of Dosha. To become perfect in Ayurvedic diagnosis, the physician needs to understand Dosha Vikalpa (Dravyataha-Gunataha-Karmataha Vriddhi of Dosha), Dhatu Vaishamya (the quantum of vitiation, the status of Dhatu & Srotas), Agni Sthiti and nature of Ama. It is essential to get the practical training from the Guru (Teacher) in order to become perfect in Ayurvedic diagnosis, as evidenced from the Vagbhata’s citation “The proficiency comes by continuous practice just like the the genuineness of diamond etc. can’t be known by mere reading of books”. The fundamental principles for treating any disease are Bio-purification, Palliative medicine and avoiding the causative factors. Considering this, the author tried to incorporate these triad principles of treatment. For every diseases, there is explanation regarding causes, symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, line of treatment, Panchakarma treatment, Palliative treatment, formulations, Prescriptions, Pathyaapathya. I hope the Vaidyas will become efficient by practicing the remedies, regime and diet described in this book.
