Yogic management of common diseases

The yogic Management of Common Diseases is a long overdue series of short essays on the common diseases, which plague mankind. The range of topics covers the majority of mild chronic diseases, which are most amenable to yogic therapy.

Each essay is designed to highlight certain key ¬points of the disease in question so that the reader, whether he be a doctor, therapist, healer, yoga practitioner, patient or interested layman, can perceive the overall clinical picture and gain understanding of the physical, emotional, mental and psychic factors underlying its cause from the yogic point of view. The yogic path to freedom from each condition is given at the end of each chapter.

This book is intended to inspire people to practice yoga and to raise themselves out of their condition, which seems to surround them like an impenetrable and inescapable wall. It aims to inform people that a way out exists. It is this very information which is so important, for it carries energy and becomes the idea in the mind which, when put into practice, becomes the vehicle for the cessation of their suffering. It is also intended as a guide to doctors and therapists seeking new alternatives and indicates to them the broad range of yogic practices applicable for conditions, which have, until now, not proven amenable to conventional medical therapies.
