PREFACE
Āyurveda, with its intrinsic potentialities and close association with the culture and tradition of community having a huge number of practitioners across the country is a great strength to National Healthcare. We have about 4, 75,000 trained and registered Āyurvedic Doctors in the country who are providing health-care, particularly in rural areas. Practice of Āyurveda comes up with many hardships especially when finding solutions with locally available resources, books like ‘Handbook of Domestic Medicine and Common Ayurvedic Remedies’ are designed to cater such needs. The hallmark feature of this book is its collection of information on 74 very common ailments supported with a multitude of treatment solutions in the form of single drugs, compound drugs, external preparation, dietary and lifestyle management.
It is a worth mentioning that NIIMH, Hyderabad published the translations of this book into Telugu and Urdu in the year 2005.
