Contributor(s): Author: Vaidya Atreya Smith Anatomy and Physiology in Ayurveda are based on the body\'s function rather than structure.
In this book the Western student of Ayurveda will find a user friendly guide to de-crypt the profound ancient wisdom that is Ayurveda..
Once these concepts are thoroughly learned the following subjects of pathology, diagnosis and treatments become easy.
This unique combination allows the author, Vaidya Atreya Smith, to clearly explain the basic principles of Ayurveda.
The author of this textbook is a practitioner since 1987 and teaching since 1994.
The goal of this textbook is to help students and practitioners of Ayurveda to better grasp the functional vision of Ayurveda through a logical, liner presentation of Anatomy and physiology.
Most books on this subject are either obscure, overly detailed, disorganized or confused.
Many different details on Ayurvedic Physiology are clearly distinguished from Ayurvedic Anatomy in this book.
This textbook is written for the Western student of Ayurveda who lacks the cultural context of India - the context that views the body, and creation in general, functionally.
Nevertheless, this fundamental difference is primary in understanding the logic of Ayurvedic Medicine as a whole.
Eventually both are of equal importance.
