Description

Ayurvedic Medicine represents the healing branch of yogic science, while Vedic astrology provides its understanding of time and karma. Ayurvedic astrology teaches the interface of these two extraordinary systems in the Vedic astrology of healing. The book explains how the different mind-body and planetary types of the two systems interrelate. It examines disease factors from an astrological perspective and goes in depth into astrological remedial measures, particularly gem therapy. It also contains many notable example charts.http://www.eso-garden.com/images/uploads_bilder/ayurvedic_astrology.jpgAmazon ReviewA wonderful new offering has been laid at the feet of Jyotish by Dr. David Frawley: his new book “Ayurvedic Astrology.” All Jyotishis should know some Ayurveda, and all Vaidyas should know some Jyotish.With advanced degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, David Frawley is unusually qualified to show how to “diagnose” possible health problems through the Vedic astrology chart.

Their use may greatly help or may greatly harm the wearer. Much light is needed in this area. David has a wonderful section on their use and, as one who has successfully recommended gems to clients for over 12 years, I largely agree with his rules for wearing gems.Mantras for each planet are also given and the relationship between color and doshas is explained. The chakras, the three bodies (physical, astral and causal), and the nakshatras and their relationship with the planetary energies are clearly explained. The volume comes to a grand conclusion with thirty-three example charts of famous people. This book should be near the top of your “must have” list for Vedic Astrology, or Ayurveda, or Natural Medicine.One note of caution: this tome is geared to those seekers of Truth who are at least marginally c
