Ayurvedic Treatment of Common Diseases

Preface

Ayurveda the science of self-healing or wholistic healing is getting lot of attention from the scientific community as well as from the people at large. There is demand from the people, to know effective, Ayurvedic treatment of common diseases.

We have written this book for those who are interested in simple and useful remedies to cure common diseases. However this book dose not claim that it will replace the consultation of the learned Ayurvedic physician, Hence it is advised that before starting the treatment one should consult his own Ayurvedic family physician. The treatments described in this book are based on our observations and clinical experience in different Ayurvedic hospitals, over the period of past 30 years, In India at present there are more than GOO Ayurvedic pharmaceutical companies manufacturing ethical Ayurvedic products. However we have not included any of these products while describing the treatment, because it is very difficult to include some and delete others. Therefore, we have described those Ayurvedic preparations which have been explained in ancient Ayurvedic texts. Out of these also we have taken care to include those medicines and methods, which we have found effective and without any harmful effects. Hence we feel that this book will be helpful to all,

While describing the treatments of common diseases, we have also taken care to give detail description of the herbs available in the West. Because we are aware of the fact that all Ayurvedic preparations especially those containing oxides of metals and minerals are still not available in Western Countries.

Hence we are sure that readers in India as well as Abroad will find this book interesting.
