Ayurveda and Panchakarma, Sunil V. Joshi, AYURVEDA Books, Vedic Books

The area of Ayurveda known as Panchakarma is a comprehensive system of knowledge and practices to purify the body of toxins and restore it to balance with natural law.

This book reflects the way the original text of Ayurveda, the Charak Samhita, first presented this knowledge. The first section explores in detail the principles which define Ayurveda as a science of life and health. The second section delves more deeply into the Ayurvedic understanding and how to treat it. This section begins with an elaboration of six stages of disease formation and then systematically unfolds the knowledge of Panchakarma, the science of rejuvenation.

Review of Ayurveda and Panchakarma
by Sunil V. Joshi
This book is truly something rare. It captures Ayurvedas true jewel which is Panchakarma at its very core and presents it in a very simple and powerful way. Dr. Joshi and the co-writers take you into the inner wisdom of Ayurveda which you will see is a medical system that is deeply intuitive and has an understanding of disease that is unequaled. Dr. Joshi is a rare treasure of clinical wisdom too, he presents a number of case examples in the book that show how Panchakarma can bring a dramatic healing in many chronic cases. Ive carried a copy around whenever I do Panchakarma myself as a reference to the treatments, their indications and conta-indications. It also elaborately covers the basic principals of Ayurvedic science so beautifully. I highly reccomend this for all Ayurvedic students and even doctors who are qualified who want to see a simple but perfectly balanced presentation of Charakas Siddhisthana which is the ancient text that presents Panchakarma treatments. People often forget that Ayurvedas main treatment for disease is indeed Panchakarma, herbs, diet and lifestyle are part of daily regimen for maintaining and preventing disease, but once the disease has ripened, Panchakarma is the quickest and most effective way to remove the disease. But it must be in the hands of someone who truly knows this science in its inner wisdom. Dr. Joshi is a very rare example of this person. He also runs a beautiful clinic in Nagpur which is often booked months ahead with people from India and abroad seeking healing treatments under his supervision.
