Ayurvedic Medicine for Dogs

Geared toward pet owners who prefer alternative health and healing strategies or wish to supplement traditional veterinary medicine, this valuable guide illustrates how Ayurveda—or the “science of life”—can improve dogs’ quality of life. More than just a medical treatment, the ancient Eastern practice focuses on maintaining a sense of equilibrium through a combination of diet, herbs, meditation, massage, and crystal therapy. From the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether) to the power of the mind, each facet of Ayurvedic healing is discussed with an eye to increasing pet owners’ understanding of dogs’ natural balance and creating a stronger bond between canines and humans.
