In classical Ayurvedic medicine, a comprehensive view of the whole human person included the patient's humoral integration into the surrounding soil. The jungle was the most crucial environment, and the jungle was -- and is -- the dry land of the Punhjab and the Delhi Doab, an open vegetation of thorny shrubs. The polarity of dry land sand wet lands framed not ony the whole Ayurvedic materia medica, but also the more general conception fo a cosmic physiology goverened by Agni (the sun) and Soma (the dispenser of rain). Clearling the land and draining the body were two aspects of the same art of managing the transactions of all sorts of vital fluids, saps, jiuices, savours and humours. In a remarkable evocation that combines Sanskrit studies and anthropology, Zimmermann reconstructs the linkage between humours, persons and soils in classical Hindu medicine. His work will interest those involved in medical anthropology, medical history, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and South Asian studies. It will will also be valued for the vivid and accurate descriptions it offers of several fundamental ideas of our time borrowed from Hindu culture: flower power, vegetarianism, non-violence, and the cosmic dimension so the human body.Dr Anand anandji
