ABOUT THE BOOK 

The body is a mystery workshop, the full secret of which is yet to be understood. At once a remarkable instrument, an impressive cloak, an interesting laboratory, a work of art and a work of science, the human body defies a simple understanding. In fact we hardly ever notice it except when it fails to function ‘normally’. However, there is greater confidential information that the body hides, a deeper truth that one day man will learn, and on learning it he will grow wiser and humbler. The truths of the earth out of which it has sprung up and is presently constituted and the earth out of which it has sprung up and is presently constituted and the truth of what lies beyond the sensory apparatus are both concealed within this mysterious vault we know as our body.

This book is an attempt at unravelling some of its secrets, some known and some not so widely known. These secrets help us not only in understanding the body better but also, by applying them in our everyday life, they open new doors to health and healing as well as the future possibilities of the human body.
