ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW

Tao and Dharma: Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda explores the enduring features of humanity's longest and continually practiced systems of medicine. These two indigenous healing arts arising independently in China and India communed and exchanged experience, techniques, and therapeutic substances over the epochs of their development. This book's interesting and valuable comparison provides a pioneer effort in examining side by side two great systems of medicine, studying closely the historical, theoretical and practical relationships.

USER REVIEWS

"As far as I am aware, this is the only book out there in English to look at the connections and divergences in philosophy and praxis of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayuveda, the traditional healing techniques and systems of China and India respectively. As such, it provides an important service. It is written for the general public, and so, students of either or both of the healing systems won't find much new in the respective sections on them. However, it is an excellent introductory overview to both systems. In addition, serious students and practitioners will benefit from the attempt to look at the differences and similarities in the two ancient systems. While a much more in-depth account is certainly needed, I hope Svoboda, an excellent and exteremely important writer, teacher, and practitioner of Ayurveda and Tantra, doesn't get around to it anytime soon, because I hope to eventually write it myself!"
