Product Description:
A decade ago, Deepak Chopra, M.D., wrote Perfect Health, the first practical guide to harnessing the healing power of the mind, which became a national bestseller. The book described how breakthroughs in physics and medicine were underscoring the validity of a 5,000-year-old medical system from ancient India known as Ayurveda ('the knowledge of life span' in Sanskrit). Perfect Health went on to describe how to apply the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to everyday life. In celebration of this classic work we have created this new edition, revised and updated to include the latest medical research.
Although we experience our bodies as solid, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, for instance. Our skin is new every five weeks. Each year, fully 98 percent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced. Ayurveda gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day. Ayurveda tells us that freedom from sickness depends on contacting our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body.
Perfect Health provides a complete step-by-step program of mind body medicine tailored to individual needs. A quiz identifies the reader's mind body type: thin, restless Vata; enterprising, efficient Pitta; tranquil, steady Kapha; or any combination of these three. This body type becomes the basis for a specific Ayurvedic program of diet, stress reduction, neuromuscular integration, exercise, and daily routines. The result is a total plan, tailor-made for each individual, to reestablish the body's essential balance with nature; to strengthen the mind body connection; and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging--in short, for achieving Perfect Health.

Rating:  - Perfect Health
Hi,
I am enjoying reading this book. Eventhough I am not done with the book. I have a feeling that I need to read this atleast two time to get thru' the message. There is so much of information that it is hard to perceive everything at the first time.
Rating:  - Total Health The Chopra Way
This is an excellent book that everybody that is concerned with their health should read. It is best to read *before* getting sick but it is also very valuable for those that want to remain healthy or are struggling with their health.

Since after the British invasion in around 18 th century, Indians have been introduced and were forced to follow the British system for everything.When they left India 60 years back, Indians got so adapted to the British systems that they continued following them.You could realise that if you analyse the current India.The Education system,Political system, Medicine , Lifestyle of people everything is no longer what India had been 260 years ago.

Rating: - Great Work!
Dr. Chopra has done it once again. As a great promoter of alternative medicine, he has done a great job in spreading that message in this book. He speaks of "quantum mechanical human body." He argues that "by treating the underlying quantum mechanical body itself, Ayurveda can bring about changes far beyond the reach of conventional medicine, confined as it is to the level of gross physiology. A good read for everyone!

Rating: - a delicious treat for any reader
This book is undoubtedly the best account of the ayurvedic principles on healthy living. I am a GP myself and like to explore alternative disciplines of medicine too. This book definitiely honed my knowledge as regards the healthy functioning of mind and body. The language is easy, illustrations are good and the text is free of medical jargon or elaborate sanskrit terms. A treatise indeed for any health conscious person or health care professional.
