Book Description
Ayurveda, the ancient art of healing, has been practiced in India for more than two thousand years and survives today as a living medical tradition whose principles are at the heart of many "alternative" therapies now used in the West. This "science of longevity" has parallels with Buddhist thought, and advocates a life of moderation through which the three humors of the body will be brought into balance. The writings selected for this volume are taken from Sanskrit medical texts written by the first Ayurvedic physicians, who lived between the fifth century b.c. and the fourteenth century a.d. Here readers will find wide-ranging and fascinating advice on the benefits of garlic therapy, prayers for protection against malevolent disease deities, surgical techniques, exercise regimens, the treatment of poisons, the interpretation of dreams, and more.

Book Description
Sanjeev Kumar, an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMFS) with wide experience in the field, has attempted to chronicle the growth of this speciality in India to fill a void in the history of Indian medical sciences. While a lot of literature is available on ancient Indian medical practices, including Ayurveda, very little seems to have been written about the development of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in India. Searching for information from archives, existing history books and personal interactions with professionals in the field, he has penned this book for posterity to recognize the role of Indian professionals in the world of OMFS. The book traces the origins of this special field of surgery to procedures developed by practitioners of general surgery, medicine and dentistry. It highlights contributions of pioneers who helped nurture OMFS as a speciality in India and weaves information from widely differing sources into a coherent and continuous narrative through its various stages of development.
