Inner Traditions Bear and Company Shilajit: The Ayurvedic Adaptogen for Anti-aging
Book SynopsisKnown as the “black gold of the Himalayas,” Shilajit, or mumijo, is a brownish-black substance found in the mountains of central Asia with a peculiar, smoky-aromatic smell, reminiscent of the oils of various juniper plants. Taken internally in the form of capsules, tablets, or powder, Shilajit is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy with remarkable healing benefits that are only just beginning to be studied by Western doctors and scientists. In this full-colour practical guide, Wolfgang Windmann, Ph.D., explores Shilajit’s many physical and mental benefits, from stimulating the immune system and combating inflammation to protection from toxic stress and improving cognitive performance. He looks at Shilajit’s anti-aging benefits and the protection it can offer for a sensitive stomach and gut. He explores its history as a therapeutic treatment in different healing traditions throughout Asia, including its use in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Russian folk medicine, and how it is now readily available around the world. Offering a scientific analysis of the compounds found in Shilajit, the author explains how it is formed and extracted and how it is composed of many cell-protecting, antioxidant, and vitalising substances, including many minerals and amino acids. He explores how Shilajit can be used for prevention and specific treatment, including for bone fractures, osteoporosis, stomach and gut diseases, mineral deficiencies, impotence, allergies, and dementia, as well as to improve mental focus and performance. Detailing how to use Shilajit for self-care and self-healing, this guide also looks at its different forms and dosages and how to combine it with other health supplements to enhance its extraordinary benefits for the immune system and for counteracting the harmful effects of modern lifestyles.Trade ReviewOffering a complete and throughly 'reader friendly' guide to Shilajit medicine, Shilajit: The Ayurvedic Adaptogen for Anti-aging and Immune Power is an impressively written, organized and presented reference that is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, college, and university library Alternative Medicine, Chinese Medicine, and Herbal Remedies collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists. It should be noted for students, academia, alternative medicine practitioners, medical personnel, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that Shilajit: The Ayurvedic Adaptogen for Anti-aging and Immune Power is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $12.99). * Midwest Book Review *Table of ContentsPreface to the 2005 edition Preface to this 2023 edition Introduction Historical and mythical tales of an ancient remedy Shilajit, the Substance Properties Formation and distribution Currently recognized varieties of Shilajit Production Purification Composition Mineral compounds Amino acids Organic components Humins, humic acids, and fulvic acids Origins and formation of humic and fulvic acids Relevance for the formation of Shilajit ApplicationsInternal application ImmunostimulationFracturesOsteoporosisGastrointestinal complaintsHemorrhoidsDeficiency in the metabolism of mineralsBronchial diseasesErectile dysfunctionAnti-allergic propertiesAntioxidant propertiesAnabolic, performance-enhancing, and fortifying propertiesAlzheimer’s disease and dementiaUses in Ayurveda described to dateOther uses described in publications and reports but not scientifically guaranteedExternal Application Therapeutic dosage, toxicity data Preparations The legal perspective Solid preparations with Shilajit as the main active ingredient Capsules Capsule and tablet additives Suppositories Semi-solid preprations Liquid preparations Enhanced Shilajit capsules Shilajit with vitamins D and K2, turmeric, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium Shilajit with zinc and glacial milk Shilajit syrup based on xylitol Manuka honey EpilogueSource references Further information Picture credits Acknowledgments About the author Index

The University of Chicago Press Doctoring Traditions Ayurveda Small Technologies
Book SynopsisLike many of the traditional medicines of South Asia, Ayurvedic practice changed dramatically in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With Doctoring Tradition, Projit Bihari Mukharji offers a close look at that transformation, upending the widely held yet little-examined belief that it was the result of the introduction of Western anatomical knowledge and cadaveric dissection. Rather, Mukharji reveals, what instigated those changes were a number of small technologies that were introduced in the period by Ayurvedic physicians, men who were simultaneously Victorian gentlemen and members of a particular Bengali caste. The introduction of these devices, including thermometers, watches, and microscopes, Mukharji shows, ultimately led to a dramatic reimagining of the body. The new Ayurvedic body that thus emerged by the 1930s, while different from the biomedical body, was nonetheless largely compatible with it. The more incompatible elements of the old Ayurvedic body were then
