The best way to prove Ayurveda's worth is to use it in one’s own
life. For if one does not trust the methods and practices of Ayurveda when one
falls unwell, what is the value of science trying to validate it? I offer this book as my testament that
Ayurveda works.
During the writing of this book, I used my body as a laboratory, experimenting with each of the 42 prescriptions and trying to understand the śastras more fully. Perfecting my own daily routine, as I read and studied the śastras, my body began to lose weight. From the time I started actively writing until the completion of this book, I have lost 26 kg of weight without dieting and without much effort, keeping one main principle at the center of all: how to balance the agni. Every decision was centered around that calculation, forcing me to learn what Ayurveda would recommend, then adapting that to the modern day as needed, and obeying that prescription.

Bhaswati di ! very eager to read and share with friends ! I wish to meet you and learn more. plz hold book launch event in kolkata !!
ReplyDeleteWe are planning a book launch in Kolkata in December. It will likely be in a bookstore that sells the book. Stay tuned for details.
DeleteThe first point which you mentioned is right. Unless we practice science and true science based intentions in ourselves, we are never going to recognise it . But balancing Agni is not the only central mechanism. You are welcome to read my book " Evidence based Ayurveda&rational prescribing" , the kindle version of which is available in Amazon . Regards
