Product Description
This book provides an understanding of the vast potential we hold for creating health from within. Healing is not the purview of doctors and nurses - it is the power inherent in each of us, hidden deep in the essence of our beings. This truth is understood in the timeless knowledge of health known as Ayurveda. The mother of all the natural medicines, Ayurveda loosely translated means "the knowledge of longevity" or "the truth of life." In this unique introduction to the truth of life, the power of consciousness contained in the healing art of ancient India is brought to the fore.

Ayurveda - The Power to Heal provides a modern framework for understanding the profundity of this ancient medicine. It clearly explains how Ayurveda utilizes diverse techniques from Yoga and meditation to herbs and aromas, in a comprehensive, coherent, and effective manner.

While modern medicine focuses on managing and treating disease, Ayurveda emphasizes promoting health. While allopathic medicine depends increasingly on specialists, Ayurveda places in your hands, the power to control your health and your destiny. The understanding of this system of medicine, as brought forth in this distinctive work, gives you a secret window into your own amazing capability - the power to heal.

Reader Reviews
This slender volume is packed with lofty information. If you ever wondered what consciousness has to do with healing, this book is for you. (But, you should also buy it if you want practical, down-to-earth information on how to live life radiantly!) With elegant simplicity, Dugliss presents Ayurveda for what it truly is--a consciousness-based system of medicine--rather than merely Indian herbal medicine. Consciousness is the fabric of the healing process, the book asserts. It also outlines the fundamental principles of healing that set the stage for the ultimate prevention program, one that can teach you how to avert the diseases that plague modern society, from diabetes and heart disease to fibromyalgia and depression. As a wellness consultant, I plan to a copy of this book to every client. Going beyond illness to wellness requires a shift in how we understand ourselves and the world around us. This book helps us make that shift in perception.
