It is often difficult for students to access the extensive texts of Ayurveda and the many so-called traditional modalities and separating real tradition from the classical view! This book helps students of Ayurveda and also history understand the depth of the science of Ayurveda, beyond the New Age misconceptions and dangers of not honouring traditional practices. Here, traditional methods of healing in Ayurveda are discussed, as also their origin in the oldest of India's texts, the Vedas, as well as discussions relative to historical methods of taking the prakriti in Ayurveda and various other issues that arise within the New-Age world and its misconceptions about Ayurveda. Important references are given relative to the classical Sanskrit texts that are often ignored by modern Vaidyas (Ayurvedic Doctors and practitioners), especially in America. Discussions include: *Prakriti in Ayurveda and going beyond Prakriti *Genetics in Ayurveda *Ayurvedic Microbiology *Baseless claims of of Reiki and Pranic Healing *Surgery in Ayurveda and the Vedas *Meats in Ayurveda* and much more!
