Reviews

“This excellent work beautifully blends ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern endocrinology with special reference to management of the thyroid gland. It is a practical guide for both practitioners and readers, helping to reveal the natural way of balancing thyroid function. I strongly recommend this book to all readers, practitioners, and students of the healing sciences.” “This much-needed and timely book presents a road map to what every patient wishes for: a body in perfect balance. Our bodies are home to the greatest hormonal symphony ever played. Your thyroid is one of its conductors. Read this book, follow the guidelines, and feel your body play beautiful music, expressed as vibrant mental and physical health.” “Healing the Thyroid with Ayurveda is a groundbreaking work for humanity’s wellness. At this time of massive environmental crises, Marianne’s work is necessary for cleansing and healing manifold layers of illness relating to the thyroid and endocrine system. Synthesizing Ayurveda’s ancient knowledge with scientific precision, Marianne Teitelbaum puts forth an incisive work, adding another gem to the timeless pantheon of Ayurveda’s wisdom.” “Healing the Thyroid with Ayurveda is finally here. Understanding the individual nature of thyroid disease is the only prescription for a cure. Now we can stop treating with blood tests and symptoms and address the source intelligently and Ayurvedically.” “Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum’s new book on thyroid healing offers a completely new and refreshing understanding of thyroid imbalance and the knowledge of how to correct it gently, safely, and fully by addressing root causes unique to each patient. I urge you to read this book and get on the path to healing yourself, your family, and--if you are a doctor--your patients with thyroid conditions. We can only hope that this is the first of many books to come from Dr. Teitelbaum. Read this one now.” “Healing the Thyroid with Ayurveda is a most useful guide to anyone interested in holistic health care. Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum challenges the insufficient modern approaches to treating thyroid dysfunction by pointing to the root causes of the disease and sharing her success with treating it through the methods of a time-tested and science-proven ancient practice. This book is so important! It will intrigue if not revolutionize the way both patients and doctors address disease.” “Dr. Marianne Teitelbaum embodies all the wisdom and experience of a great Ayurvedic sage. She explains in language easy enough for the layperson to understand, yet detailed enough for the seasoned practitioner, exactly what we need to do to counteract the alarming epidemic levels of thyroid problems. Going beyond the use of toxic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, Dr. Teitelbaum once and for all gives us a truly natural approach to healing the thyroid gland, sharing her deep knowledge of Ayurvedic herbs, detox recipes, and healing spices. This is a must-read for anyone who is seeking help with their thyroid health. Bravo!” “Finally, a book that describes how to treat thyroid disorders without the use of pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals, using an approach that goes beyond all other thyroid books on the market. If you’re seeking natural treatments for your thyroid problems, this is the one book to read this year.” “This is the first and most important definitive Ayurvedic contribution on thyroid disease in the West. It is a testimonial to the work of her teacher and mentor, Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra, and his family’s lineage of Shaka Vansya Ayurveda.” "Healing the Thyroid with Ayurveda is a critically important and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, college, and university library Alternative Medicine collections in general, and Thyroid Treatment supplemental studies lists in particular." "This reference book gives power back to the individual, illustrating that optimum thyroid health as well as overall good health is within our reach, empowering us to further our own healing or to help others on their journey." "Based on her 30 years of practice, Chiropractor Teitelbaum offers successful protocols to treat symptoms associated with the thyroid, such as insomnia, depression, fatigue, osteoporosis, and hair, and weight loss. The references list many scientific citations, but rather than focus on the studies, such as how ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) modulates the thyroid. The goal is general good health achieved through balancing the three Ayurvedic doshas, or constitutions. She also delves into what causes thyroid problems and how to avoid them in the first place. It is admirable and very helpful to the herb world to write these unique book that tackles such a specific condition, especially one that has relatively few natural treatments!" Expand reviews
