Text Book Of Salakya Tantra Illustrated Set Of 2 Vols.

Description

Text Book Of Salakya Tantra Illustrated Set Of 2 Vols. Compared to Kaya Chikitsa and Shalya Tantra, this specialty branch Shalakya Tantra seems to be lagging behind in clinical practice. To overcome it Central Council of Indian Medicine has formulated a new syllabus after brain storming sessions. This text book, based on this new syllabus, is intended to provide practical methods of Shalakya Tantra to treat the diseases of head and neck.

Some of the features that make this book distinct are:

Proper illustrations of eye conditions are necessary than descriptive words. Hence maximum number of colour photographs are presented for easy understanding of signs of eye diseases. It is for the first time, colour images of most of the Netra rogas of classical texts are provided here.
Original statements of Bhagawan Nimi (Videha) are scattered in the vast literary sources. They are compiled here to provide a comprehensive view of every eye disease. The teachings of Sushruta, Vagbhata and Nimi and quotations of Parahita Samhita, Kapali netra roga, Chakshusyena, Satyaki tantra etc., are also presented. Opinions of commentators like Dalhana, Indu, Arunadatta, Chandranandana, Vijaya rakshita, Adhamalla, Srikanta datta and other scholars are included while discussing the features of the diseases.

While explaining the local eye treatments like Kriya kalpas, specific drug compounds are reviewed depending upon the ailment. Ayurvedic management of new generation diseases like Degenerative pathologies of eye are discussed based on practical experience and views of the contemporary scholars. Several clinical study reports are included while describing the treatment of Netra Rogas. As this data is incomplete, I hereby request the researchers to send the summary of their clinical trials, so as to include them in the forth coming editions of Shalakya Tantra.

Some of the descriptions in this book are based on the proceedings of the national seminars on Netra Rogas and internet sites. Few images are copied from well known medical sites.
