From Booklist In 1987 Crow, a serious student of spiritual healing, left behind his successful acupuncture practice in San Francisco to travel to Kathmandu to pursue the path of the healer in Buddhist and Hindu culture. In this exhaustive study of the complexities of Ayurvedic medicine, the author chronicles his decade of study with Nepalese traditional doctors and explores the depth and mystery of Tibetan healing practices. In Ayurveda, almost anything can be made into medicine if purified to its essence; even poisons such as mercury are made into powerful remedies through the process of transmutation. But the mythological source of all Tibetan medicine is a spiritual deity, the Medicine Buddha. Crow believes Ayurveda is the medicine of the future and the antidote to disease caused by our increasingly toxic world. This important treatise on ethnomedicine shows that the roots of "alternative" therapies are deep, and that secrets of healing wi th alchemical knowledge have barely been explored by practitioners in the West.
