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 Women's Health and Medical Pluralism in India by : Rachel Owen
Download or read book Women's Health and Medical Pluralism in India written by Rachel Owen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seemingly successful introduction of Western health views into a Hindu culture has affected politics, personal careers, family traditions, and women's healthcare. Specifically, this research addresses how medical pluralism affects the lives of women in Andhra Pradesh, India. As compared with Ayurveda (traditional Hindu medicine), Western Medicine (referred to here as Allopathy) has gained popularity even though it lacks historical and religious context in Indian culture. Women use Ayurvedic principles in daily life, diet, religious worship, and childcare, as well as healthcare. These practices, which stem from thousands of years of tradition, are carried on in family life by the women, giving Ayurveda cultural significance that Allopathy does not share. Thus Ayurveda survives the competition posed by the 'quick fixes' of Allopathy because it is culturally compatible, time-honored, and upheld traditionally by the women of the society.
Book Synopsis Histories of Medicine and Healing in the Indian Ocean World, Volume One by : Anna Winterbottom
Download or read book Histories of Medicine and Healing in the Indian Ocean World, Volume One written by Anna Winterbottom and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary work, the first of two volumes, presents essays on various aspects of disease, medicine, and healing in different locations in and around the Indian Ocean from the ninth century to the early modern period. Themes include theoretical explanations for disease, concepts of fertility, material culture, healing in relation to diplomacy and colonialism, public health, and the health of slaves and migrant workers. Overall, the books argue that, throughout the period of study, the Indian Ocean has been the site of multiple interconnected medical interactions that may be viewed in the context of the environmental factors connecting the region. The two volumes are the first to use the Indian Ocean World as a geographical and conceptual framework for the study of disease. It will appeal to academics and graduate students working in the fields of medical and scientific history, as well as in the growing fields of Indian Ocean studies and global history.

Book Synopsis Medicine and Religion by : Gary B. Ferngren
Download or read book Medicine and Religion written by Gary B. Ferngren and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the interplay of medicine and religion in Western societies. Medicine and Religion is the first book to comprehensively examine the relationship between medicine and religion in the Western tradition from ancient times to the modern era. Beginning with the earliest attempts to heal the body and account for the meaning of illness in the ancient Near East, historian Gary B. Ferngren describes how the polytheistic religions of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome and the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have complemented medicine in the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. Ferngren paints a broad and detailed portrait of how humans throughout the ages have drawn on specific values of diverse religious traditions in caring for the body. Religious perspectives have informed both the treatment of disease and the provision of health care. And, while tensions have sometimes existed, relations between medicine and religion have often been cooperative and mutually beneficial. Religious beliefs provided a framework for explaining disease and suffering that was larger than medicine alone could offer. These beliefs furnished a theological basis for a compassionate care of the sick that led to the creation of the hospital and a long tradition of charitable medicine. Praise for Medicine and Health Care in Early Christianity, by Gary B. Ferngren "This fine work looks forward as well as backward; it invites fuller reflection of the many senses in which medicine and religion intersect and merits wide readership."—JAMA "An important book, for students of Christian theology who understand health and healing to be topics of theological interest, and for health care practitioners who seek a historical perspective on the development of the ethos of their vocation."—Journal of Religion and Health
