Ayurvedic herbs have reached the mainstream of American health care. Now two experts teach you about the earth's oldest healing system.
Understanding
Ayurvedic herbalism can keep you well. With the knowledge you are about to
share, you can achieve balanced health. And balanced bealtis van be a priceless
gift. Imagine a time in the near future when you're free from sickness, when
you haven't been bothered by even a sniffle or a rash for a long, long time.
Ayurveda helps that future become a reality. Both authors are living proof of
the power of natural medicine. We've seen thousands of patients regain vibrant
health, and we're not alone. An entire new generation of natural medicine
therapists is transforming the health care systern in America. They are using
ancient techniques, from around the world, right alongside modern ones, These
are hopeful signs at a time when future health conditions are reported to be
harsh. Amid a rising wave of oddball bugs and scary epidemics, resistant to the
best of conventional medicine, dread is running high. We are sure you, like
other Americans, want to know what you can do to protect yourself- not only
against an unknown future of infectious disease, but the degeneration, aging
and daily irritations that undermine the quality of our lives. You are likely
hungry for answers that offer promise. If the conventional treatments on which
you have relied are failing you, there is no better investment you can make in
your future than to learn and incorporate practical Ayurveda. In this book, we
will make the rich, historically potent herbal traditions of India useful and
constructive in an everyday way for everyday people. Michael Tierra, L.Ac.,

Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa is an herbalist, nutritionist, yoga teacher and
educator. He has been making natural healing approaches palatable to the modem
mind for over thirty years. His students find extraordinary benefits and
reprieve from a vast range of health concerns by making these principles part
of their lives. For the first thirty-two years of his career, he was the herbal
apprentice of an Ayurvedic master, Yogi Bhajan. It has been his good fortune to
have been involved in the American renaissance of modern herbalism, and
particularly the introduction of Eastern ideas, from its beginning in the
1960s. His interest in natural healing techniques developed because, as a child
growing up in Oregon, he had a rare, serious disorder, and several serious
illnesses. As a young adult, he studied a wide spectrum of physical and mental
health care therapies from all over the world, and was successfully healed. He
focused especially on Ayurvedic medicine and on the therapeutic value of yoga,
meditation, and other studies of consciousness. Khalsa is the author, editor or
contributor to over 30 books on natural healing topics. He co-authored Herbal
Defense (Warner Books), an exciting book for the popular market, on the use of
herbs for staying healthy in modern times, and Body Balance (Kensington
Publications), a guide to healthy body chemistry. With over 1,000 articles in
publication, he is a frequent contributor to mainstream and professional
publications in the natural healing field, and is a contributing editor for
Let's Live, The Herb Quarterly, Better Nutrition, Herbs for Health and Great
Life magazines. Khalsa was the founder of Seattle's first multidisciplinary
holistic clinic.
