Thousands of years ago, Ayurveda described multiple levels of the radial pulse that could be used to interpret the status of the organs and systems of the body as well as the mental and physical constitutions of the individual. As the first text on pulse diagnosis for the Western student, this book provides a method by which anyone can learn to read his own pulse. Imbalances and potential disease states can be detected in their early stages, giving one the opportunity to correct them before they affect the quality of life. With practice and guidance, one can acquire the proficiency to use this knowledge to heal self and others.

Ayurvedic Tongue Diagnosis is a book that is about much more than Ayurvedic tongue diagnosis. It is one of the best books ever written on the relationship of Ayurvedic medicine to modern nutrition... I strongly recommend this book for both lay people and trained healers as a way to increase their depth of understanding and knowledge. This book helps us merge, in wonderful ways, with the healing powers of Ayurvedic principles as they are applied to the use of high vitality foods.
