Book excerpt: The book on "Massage for Health and Healing: The Ayurvedic and Spiritual Energy Approach" is a commendable guide to a very important medical aid which reigned with dignity in the past. Though it was neglected for many years, the art of massage has recaptured its central place amongst the forms of healing, prevention of disease, and promoting health. Massage is the oldest of all techniques for relieving pain, shaping the organs, regenerating tissues, and correcting almost all internal malfunctions. Massage has its origin in the natural instincts of animals, handed over to the concious man with a mandate to improve it as far as possible with his old wisdom. Despite advancements in knowledge and complex techniques, massage retains its usefulness and significance even as a method to save a person from immediate death, as in heart failure, breathlessness, and several other fatal ailments. In all kinds of therapeutic approaches, massage alone can maintain certain links. Any method of treatment with a holistic approach cannot leave out massage. Ayurveda upholds its psychosomatic benefits. Sushruta and other texts explain it, classifying various types of massages and instructions on their manipulations and effects. In Ayurveda, the human body constitutes three functional entities, the balance of which maintains health; an upset in this balance increases diseases. The book serves not only as a guide to novice practioners but also as a manual and refresher guide for those who are experienced ayurvedic masseurs. The contents (techniques) of this book will bring relief and better health to those faithfully apply them in their daily lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massage is the oldest of all the techniques for relieving pain, shaping the organs, regenerating the tissues and correcting all internal functions. It is the eighth and the last principle of yoga. The book presents a holistic approach to healing and beautification of the body through massage in a scientific way. Massage is good for health for all. Massage or the operation of healing hands had great importance in the ancient history of the world; perhaps there may not be much science and technology. But ancient Indian surgeons studied the art of massage from the famous medical books of Charak, Ashtanga Hridaya and Susruta Samhita. Most of the orthopaedic injuries and pains were cured by massage. Nowadays, massage centres in Kerala are famous for treating and curing many diseases by different kinds of oils prepared by a combination of ayurvedic medicines. Such centres are attracting the foreigners in large number. Tourism has developed in Kerala fastly due to this.
