This book gives a complete history of the Aryan medical science in every respect. The carefully prepared bibliography and index and glossary, which are indispensable in the history book enhance the value of the book.
The science of Aryan Medicine is so extensive in its range that its complete history in a small compass is possible to write only if its author is endowed with an encyclopaedic vision. H.H. Bhagvat Singh Jee has that vision, and his book Aryan medical science, is an eminently readable short history of Hindu medical science or Ayurveda.
The book is a complete history in every respect. It has a very carefully prepared index and glossary which are indispensable in a history book, and a bibliography. The bibliography is partly descriptive and partly evaluative, and that makes the bibliography interesting to the readers.
Glossary, index and bibliography apart, the book gives a complete history of the Ayurveda.
Aryan medical science, a short history is a brilliant resume of Hindu system of medicine that was practised with great success in the past through centuries.
