Ayurveda Ancient Science or Pseudoscience - Analysis with molecular mechanisms, Vol I : Introduction  (Hardcover, Dr. Asha Kumari)

‘Ayurveda - Ancient science or Pseudoscience’ Book is a scientific analysis of Indian traditional medicine -Ayurveda. The author explores stringently the credentials of Ayurveda to be labelled as a Medical science. Modern science is unveiling the molecular mechanisms underlying many Ayurvedic principles. Numerous studies have been referenced with the text. Many important concepts of Ayurveda have been missed by previous books on Ayurveda and main focus is always on Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These Tridosha definitely form the fundamental pillars of human body. There is so much more in Ayurveda like thorough examination of patient, calculating prognosis of patient, categorising diseases into curable, incurable and manageable. But the impression of Ayurveda being a hypothetical science only based on few herbs is underestimation of this vast science. There are detailed chapters on Pranayam, mantra and Prakriti etc. This book is written in a very simple yet interesting language with beautiful illustrations made by the author herself.
