The Pancakarma Treatment of Ayurveda with Kerala Specialties (Keraliya Pancakarma), (Revised Edition)

I am glad to present before the readers the revised and enlarged Fourth Edition of my book entitled "Pancakarma Treatment of Ayurveda with Kerala Specialities" (Keraliya pancakarma). The previous editions of this book was well received by research scholars, teachers and practitioners of Ayurveda and general public. The Keraliya Pancakarmas are parts and parcel of Poorvakarmas and they are quoted in original granthas of caraka and Susruta, but they same is practised in a refined form by the Kerala Vaidyas in this book called ": Keraliya Pancakarma" into Hindi in 1970s which is written by Vaidya S. R. Iyer of Kerala. The details of the Karmas are with Sanskrit slokas, photos and along with Hindi translation available to readers. Those who are interested may go through this book.

The Pancakarma therapy detoxicates the body tissues, cells, and cleanness the system so the drugs consumption for diseases is minimal with maximum benefit. It is beneficial in health, in daily regimen, in seasonal regimen and in diseases. In Kannada my book is the only book, which is available for teachers, students and general public. Its Hindi version in two volumes are also available to Hindi readers.

I am indebted to all the authors and publishers of the books cited in the bibliography.

I am thankful to M/s. Chaukhambha Orientalia, Delhi for having published this book well in time; I am thankful to Sri Krishna Graphics and especially Smt. Sailaja Proprietor & Smt. Meena for neat DTP work.
