Ancient Healing Wisdom from Kathmandu and Beyond


My next guest on Healing Wisdom, this Thursday at 9am, is author of The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook as well as The Bajracharya Samhita Volume One: Ayurvedic Chikitsa Vigyana Ayurvedic Principles, Diagnosis and Treatment. The latter book compiles the knowledge of renown Ayurvedic doctor from Kathmandu, Newari Dr. Vaidya Mana Bajra Bajracharya. Dr. Mana, came from a line of family doctors. His practice was the embodiment of 700 years of traditional medicine from Nepal. Together with his son, Mr. Tillotson, and others, they have translated Sanskrit writings, and encapsulated the great wisdom of a master herbalist and a healing tradition that encompasses mind-body-spirit health for deep healing and fantastic results.

Mr. Alan Tillotson, is an unusual practitioner, in that he has converged Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western herbal medicine into his practice. His first book, compiled wisdom from his own practice and that of his teachers, mentors and friends, including Dr. Robert Abel Jr., MD, his Chinese medical herbalist wife Nai-shing, and good friend author and former head of the USDA's botanical division, Dr. James Duke.
