Another topic I'm interested in. :) I've been a fan of Ayurveda since my teenage years when Ayurvedic medicine repeatedly treated me much quicker than allopathic medicine, for the same chronic ailment. You are correct that it has to be used as complementary to western medicine when it comes to issues like surgery, fixing broken bones etc. Another point is that so much of Indian food and diet reflects the influence of Ayurveda. I haven't read that particular book, but some other books on Ayurveda. Also, there are many similarities between Ayurveda, Chinese medicine and Macrobiotics - all of them are in tune with nature and focus on food vis-a-vis health - how it's grown and prepared, whether it's in season or not, and so on. It all ties in with the ecological issues at hand. :) Heh. Another topic I’m interested in. :)
