About the Book
Religious Therapeutics explores the intricate relationship between psychophysical health and spiritual well-being, offering a model for understanding the connections between religion and medicine across world traditions. The book delves into how classical yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra—three prominent Hindu traditions—approach health, with a particular focus on their emphasis on the role of the body in health and spirituality.
Author Gregory P. Fields compares Anglo-European and Indian philosophies of body and health, using fifteen determinants of health from ancient Hindu medicine to illustrate that health is not solely about the body or body/mind, but is a holistic concern involving the entire person. This work offers a unique lens through which to view the integration of religious and medicinal practices, providing insights into the health paradigms of ancient India.
