Product Overview

by Dr. Vaida N.M. Ketkar Ayurved Darshan offers a concise and detailed depiction of Ayurved and is intended to provide modern physicians with an understanding of this ancient scientific heritage. Ayurved (literally knowledge of life) originated sometime between 1500 and 1000 B.C., and current studies include five hundred thousand practitioners in India today. Within the international medical community, however, many professionals only have the vaguest comprehension of the practice. This text is intended to clarify the theories of Ayurved and to bring traditional theories into contact with modern research capabilities. These holistic methods can compliment technological advances in medicine to create increasingly beneficial treatments. Ayurved Darshan depicts the basic principles of the branches of Ayurved and presents an authentic picture of this valuable heritage. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Vaidya N.M.

He was then selected by a public service commission for research in Ayurvedic sciences at civil hospital Ahemedehad.
