The Ancient Healing Way of the Self..By the Self With Medicine of the Self
This is an opportunity to own a copy of Arthur Lincoln Pauls' rare book. Shipping to an address in the USA will be covered. Additional shipping charges will be invoiced for any other address.
Description from the back cover:
This book is written to help revive interest in the oldest of all healing therapies.
Let us return over the path from whence we came and we will see on that path, if we
cannot find in our ‘Grass Roots” the basis and beginning of all healing.
The original therapy of man was believed to be Herbalism. This was part of the
Ayurvedic (the Art of Life) system, and dates from the oldest period of medicine to India.
But there is a therapy that goes back even further. It was called ‘Mother of Ayurveda’.
This healing energy flows through the liquids of our bodies, but we discard it as waste,
not seeing, like the ancients who called it a ‘divine nectar’ that it has the greatest
healing potential of all.
A whole chapter has been written about it in the holy Sanskrit writings of the Damar
Tantra.
Its full name is Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi.
