Why don't you give exact delivery time?

MoreLong description:
Ayurveda, “the sacred knowledge of longevity”, is India’s gift to the world. It is a holistic medical system and a healthcare framework based on the observation of the human body in health and disease. Ayurveda is considered a secondary of Atharvavēda and is inextricably associated with Hindu culture. Unlocking the treasures of India's time-honored medical heritage, Scientific Synopsis of Vāgbhaṭa’s Classic Ayurveda Treatise Aṣṭāṅgasaṅgraha: A Comparison with its Abridged Version Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya delves into the heart of Ayurveda, where it emerges from an intricate interplay of natural observations and profound yogic introspection, that shaped its foundational principles over centuries. A pivotal work in this realm, the seventh-century Sanskrit masterpiece Aṣṭāṅgasaṅgraha, weaves together the wisdom of various medical and surgical schools. Drawing inspiration from this, this book sets forth a scientific synthesis, comparing the information contained of this Ayurvedic classic with its more concise rendition, Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya. Through twelve chapters and over 100 tables, this narrative offers a panoramic view of the celebrated medical text while accentuating its distinctiveness in comparison to its abridged counterpart.
