It has been practiced as an accessory therapy since it was used in conjunction with other forms to effect healing.

This review is from: Lost Secrets of Ayurvedic Acupuncture (Paperback)
I got this book for my dad and he really loves it. He has been practising Su-Jok accupuncture for the past 10 years.
There are a lot of things included in this book that he did not know about. He claims that the knowledge in this book will be useful in his practice.

mmm.....,
By emma goldman (east of the rockies) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lost Secrets of Ayurvedic Acupuncture (Paperback)
i was quite excited to get this book and see what it was all about. to be honest i dont see it as being that great of a resource for a few different reasons. the theory is essentially TCM theory and point locations/indications with a few little tidbits of ayurveda thrown in on top of it. keep in mind too that tcm theory, although containing SOME of the knowledge of chinese medicine for the past few thousand years has really only been around for half a century. a great deal of this book could just as easily have been a tcm point location/indication text and one would never know the difference. im not sure where the author's training came from , but its much too close to be coincidence. this book may be useful for a trained acupuncturist to try and incorporate some ayurvedic principles in to their work, but really i think there are much better places to look first for this, david frawley's marma book comes to mind. for an ayurvedic practitioner, i obviously dont think this book would allow one to be ready to start needling patients, and hopefully that isnt the intention of the author. there where a few interesting parts of this book, the historical aspects and traditional needle design in particular was entertaining. and the getting an answer to the puzzling question that has been running through my mind of where ether and air fit in to the chinese 5 elements, and wood and metal vis versa was also cool.

Subtle surgery...,

This review is from: Lost Secrets of Ayurvedic Acupuncture (Paperback)
Fianlly a book integrating the most complete system of health care and human undrstanding (Ayurveda) with the art and science of Acupuncture. TCM in the west is now not much different then allopathic western medical science - only treating disease, disregarding the whole of man..especially the subtle/causal bodies. Ayurvedic acupuncture provides a method of diagnosis and treatment from a fully holistic perspective...understanding that true healing only occurs at the level of consciousness. It is through the shifts in awareness and invoking of the divine inner flame that we can truly "heal" and once again return to the source of God/Love within. Ayurveda is the mother of healing..from which all medicine arose...and all will return.
