'''Yogic Treatments and Natural Remedies''' is a book published in [[:wikipedia:Jamalpur, Munger|Jamalpur]] (India) by the [[:wikipedia:Philosophy|philosopher]] and social reformer [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921–1990).<ref group=note>[[:wikipedia:Giani Zail Singh|Giani Zail Singh]], seventh president of India has said about Sarkar: "Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar was one of the greatest modern philosophers of India.

== | ==Contents== | ||
The book contains 41 chapters, each corresponding to the name of a different disease and presenting various ''Yaogika'' methods of treating the various [[:wikipedia:illness|illness]]es. As stated by the author in the preface, the purpose of the book "is to let people cure themselves by practising the ''[[:wikipedia:Asana|Ásana]]s'' and ''[[:wikipedia:Mudra|Mudrá]]s''.." describing "along with the ''Ásanas'' and ''Mudrás'', a list of some free or inexpensive and easily-available, but proven and useful remedies, as well as the methods of their application..".{{sfn|Sarkar|1957|p=3}} | |||
According to the author "The object of the art of [[:wikipedia:healing|healing]] is to cure a patient, both physically and mentally. So the question is not the advocacy of any particular school of [[:wikipedia:Medicine|medical science]], but rather the welfare of the patient".{{sfn|Sarkar|1957|p=3}} According to Sarkar [[:wikipedia:disease|disease]]s can be cured through natural methods: yogic exercise using [[:wikipedia:water|water]], proper [[:wikipedia:diet (nutrition)|diet]], [[:wikipedia:Herbalism|herbal remedies]], [[:wikipedia:sunlight|sunlight]] and air. Some of the herbal [[:wikipedia:recipe|recipe]]s included in the book are quoted on [[:wikipedia:scientific journal|scientific journal]]s.{{sfn|Verma|Jain|Katewa|Dec. 2009|p=503}} | |||
Another version (completely revisited) of the same book has been published on 2011 with a different title. This new volume, titled "Natural medicine",{{sfn|Sarkar|2011|}} is much different from the original one and has been greatly expanded with many more pages (214) and informations like drawings, additional explanations (particularly for the ''asanas'' and for the herbals remedies) and coloured diagrams. | |||
