King Aśoka, the third monarch of the Mauryan dynasty in the third century B.C., was the first ruler of a unified India and one of the greatest political figures of all time. After he embraced the teachings of the Buddha, he transformed his polity from one of military conquest to one of Dharmavijaya — victory by righteousness and truth. By providing royal patronage for the propagation of Buddhism both within and beyond his empire, he helped promote the metamorphosis of Buddhism into a world religion that spread peacefully across the face of Asia.

The present collection of essays by leading Indological scholars draws upon both the inscriptions and the literary traditions to explore the relationship between King Aśoka and the religion he embraced. In highlighting the ways in which Aśoka tapped the ethical and spiritual potentials of rulership, these papers deliver a message highly relevant to our own time, when politics and spirituality often seem pitted against one another in irreconcilable opposition.

WHAT THE MEDIA SAY ABOUT THE ALLEN CARR METHOD:

‘I was exhilarated by a new sense of freedom’ Independent ‘An intelligent and original method’
Evening Standard
WHAT ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS AND MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS SAY ABOUT
THE ALLEN CARR METHOD:

 

‘I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Cart’s work in helping smokers quit. Many quitting clinics
use some of his techniques, but it would appear few do so in quite such a successful package’ A
personal view from Professor Judith Mackay, MBE, Director, Asian Consultancy on Tobacco Control and World
Health Organization Expert, Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
‘It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behavior
modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding
postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE way to stop
smoking’

Dr William Green, Head of the Psychiatric Department, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
‘I was really impressed by the method. In spite of Allen Carr’s success and fame, there were no
gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy
to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone’

Dr P.M. Bray

 

‘I have observed the Allen Carr method, “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking’ at first hand on several
occasions. I have found it to be very successful. I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to
stop smoking’

Dr Anil Visram, B.Sc., MBBch, FRCA, Consultant,
The Royal Hospitals NHS Trust, Royal London Hospital, UK

Asthma ~ The Biography

Asthma: The Biography (Biographies of Diseases)
By Mark Jackson
Publisher: Oxford University Press 2009, 256 Pages
ISBN: 0199237956, PDF, 2 MB

Asthma is a familiar and growing disease today, but its story goes back to the ancient world, as we know from accounts in ancient texts from China, India, Greece and Rome. It was treated with acupuncture and Ayurveda. As Western medicine developed, the nature of asthma became clearer, and its basis in the lungs recognized. But cultural perceptions of the disease shifted too.

By the 18th century, with recognition that the disease was centred on the lungs, the idea of environmental triggers such as dust and smoke first became recognized. And with that, asthma also became identified as a disease of artisans. Things changed again in the 19th century, as medical understanding grew with the advent of the stethoscope and new techniques such as percussion of the chest.

New treatments included the promotion of mountain spas, for asthma now rose in social status, and became associated with the upper classes and the literati. For Marcel Proust and Charles Dickens, asthma shaped their lives and their creativity. From early in the 20th century, the idea of asthma as an allergic disease became established, and the search for environmental causes was on. Hay fever was closely linked, and pharmaceutical companies began to make antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and bronchodilators. Asthma sufferers were warned to beware of pets, simplify their furnishings, and take holidays by the sea far from pollens.

But a newly emerging concept was that attacks could be triggered by stress and psychological factors. With musicians such as Schoenberg and Berg as celebrity sufferers, the idea of asthma as an elite disease persisted. In recent years, attitudes have changed again, as incidences of asthma grew dramatically across the world, especially among the young. The disease has now become closely linked to modern lifestyles and the many products of civilization.

The battle against house-dust mites began, and whole new lines of anti-allergenic products and foods were launched – asthma has proved highly lucrative over the years. But the disease has remained fashionable, even becoming the theme of several pop songs. Asthma: the biography is part of the Oxford series, Biographies of Diseases, edited by William and Helen Bynum.

In each individual volume an expert historian of medicine tells the story of a particular disease or condition throughout history – not only in terms of growing medical understanding of its nature and cure, but also shifting social and cultural attitudes, and changes in the meaning of the name of the disease itself.

Choosing A Free Domain and A Free Hosting!

-> Just click SKIP AD to go to destination page.

Choosing A Free Domain

Rarely are provided free domain with the name of the domain extensions quite short. Many who give free, but the length of the domain name quite long which usually cause us to forget the domain name itself.

For domain name is still reasonable easy to remember, you should use the service free domain name of CO.CC which you will get a domain name free for 1 year. If you want to extend it, you can upgrade to a paid domain with the same domain name.

Uniquely, you can use your own name for the domain name. For example: yourname.co.cc or myname.co.cc. If you are interested in using this free domain name service please go to CO.CC to get a co.cc domain belongs to you.

Choosing A Free Hosting

Once you have a domain name, it is time you determine where the hosting. If you are looking for is a free hosting, should you choose free hosting service that is not too minimal to the facility. The most important is hosting space, bandwidth, server uptime ..

I suggest you use the facilities of 000webhost.com. You could also get a free subdomain. But the domain name of CO.CC‘d look more ‘elegant little’ rather than use a free subdomain from 000webhost own.

Indian Medicinal Plants

Indian Medicinal Plants – An Illustrated Dictionary

Download link:

http://adf.ly/7YPM -> Just Click SKIP AD to go to download page.

Based on this legacy, Indian Medicinal Plants – An Illustrated Dictionary is aimed at bringing out an updated Active Study Dictionary of plant sources of Indian medicine.

The medicinal plants shortlisted by the National Academy of Ayurveda and the department of Indian Systems of Medicine (AYUSH) have been included in the book.

For further study, all major findings and leads, including references to research documents and journals, can be reached through the following books (in sequence):

• The Wealth of India First Supplement Series (Vol. I to V).
• The Wealth of India original series (Vol. II to XI and revised Vol. 1 to 3).
• Compendium of Indian Medicinal Plants (Vol. I to V, CDRI).
• Potter’s New Cyclopaedia of Botanical Drugs and Preparations (1998 edn).
• Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, 2007.
• PDR for Herbal Medicines, 2004.
• The Treatise on Indian Medicinal Plants (Vol. I to VI).
• Additional sources, as cited at appropriate places.

Dosage of crude herbs is based on the recommendations of The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (Vol. I to IV) and Standard Nomenclature of Ayurvedic Medicinal Plants (CCRAS).

Roman spellings of Ayurvedic synonyms, introduced for the first time by Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth (National Academy of Ayurveda), New Delhi-110 026, have been followed. Asiatic Society’s markings are now obsolete. The text has been formatted following the style-manual of The Wealth of India series of CSIR.

Detailed references of research journals are beyond the purview of this project. The text is based on authentic treatises which are the outcome of scientific screening and critical evaluation by eminent scholars. As I have already indicated, readers, if they so desire, can always refer back to a particular research paper cited in the original source. I did not follow the trend of enumerating research papers which were not actually consulted by me. Researchers should consult the Database on Medicinal Plants used in Ayurveda series (CCRAS) and Reviews on Indian Medicinal Plants series (ICMR) for detailed bibliography.

All Indian common names have been spelled according to their actual pronunciation. The way was shown by the National Academy of Ayurveda by introducing aa in the spellings. In The Review of Natural Products (Facts and Comparisons) 2005 edition., Khat, Chaat, Chat, qaad, jaad and Miraa have been X Guiding Factors included among the common names of Catha edulis, while the common name of Gymnema sylvestre is spelled as Gurmar instead of Gurmaar. Perhaps the actual pronunciation was not known to the editors. In India, O is pronounced in a specific ascent, as in Om, that is the reason uu is used instead of oo. Similarly, Sanskrit synonyms end with a, that is why aa is used for facilitating proper pronunciation. These changes have been included so that Indian names are pronounced correctly.

Energy Medicine

How to use your Body’s Energies to:

- Boost your vitality and stamina
- Strengthen your immune system
- Relieve pain and common complaints such as colds and tension headaches
- Sharpen your memory and mind
- Keep yourself healthy and balanced with a five-minute routine

ENERGY MEDICINE IS TIMELESS

Energy medicine is safe, natural, and accessible. It is both contemporary and ancient. The term is being used in many ways today, ranging from the introduction of shamanic healing practices in modern cultures to the use of powerful electromagnetic and imaging technologies in modern hospitals.

It embraces lawful principles and mysteries; routine procedures and artistry; matter and spirit. Energy medicine is the best term I know for describing the growing number of approaches where an understanding of the body as a system of energies is being applied for promoting health, healing, and happiness.

Energy medicine is the art and science of fostering physical, psychological, and spiritual health and well-being. It combines a ration?’ knowledge and intuitive understanding of the energies in the body and in the environment.
Cultivating your capacity to weave these energies can make you a more conscious and sensitive instrument of energy medicine than all the other technologies combined. By focusing on your body as a living system of energy, you begin to realize that powerful energy technologies are already inherent in your hands and in your being.

The term energy medicine is itself a double-entendre. Energy gives life to the body. Medicine is an agent that is used to heal or prevent disease. In energy medicine, energy is the medicine. And in energy medicine, this medicine is applied to the body’s energies. Energy heals, and energy systems are healed.

The return of energy medicine is one of the most significant cultural developments of the day, for the return of energy medicine is a return to personal authority for health care, a return to the legacy of our ancestors in harmonizing with the forces of nature, and a return to practices that are natural, friendly, and familiar to body, mind, and soul. Regardless of the dazzling technologies that have already been introduced, such as electromagnetic imaging, or the undreamed-of advances that will come along, the essence of energy medicine will always be the energy systems that make up the subtle infrastructure of every body.
