Mind and Body deals with the relationships between the ancient philosophical schools of Asia and medicine. It explores the mutually dependent relation between the mind and the body, and argues that Asian and Hippocratic medical systems, as well as the body and consciousness, should not be studied in isolation.
The volume also demonstrates how ancient medical traditions can be used to improve the physical and mental health of people today. It comprises papers compiled by medical practitioners and researchers, including specialists of ayurveda, siddha, unani, homoeopathy, Sowa-Rigpa, naturopathy, yoga, and acupuncture, from different parts of Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
