knowledge since it is very deadly if it goes to wrong hands. All the great Enlightened masters like Jesus Christ and Buddha were very good healers. They gave no medicine, just their touch or look could heal because they were positive spirits.
By their touch, word or look they could infuse the
Prana on a patient, thereby removing the negativity of their subtle body (
Prana Prathishta). Any individual could reach this stage, but their negativity and attachments is what prevents them. Once when the mind is focused inside, the desires will be limited and when the desires are limited, it prevents from creating new actions (
Karmas). It is only when the
Karma of the patient is exhausted; the physician can read his pulse. This is what 'right patient' in pulse reading means. After reading the pulse the physician should prescribe a decoction of drugs as
Kashaya. The practice of prescribing prepared
Kashaya from the market is not encouraged here, since the level of
Prana and the nine factors explained by Ayurvedic texts are different in different persons. This was the method practiced by ancient Ayurvedic physicians. Moreover this method does not cure the disease of the gross body, but it equalizes the energy of the subtle body, thereby equalizing the 3
Dhoshas (
Vatha,
Pittha, and
Kabha). Thereby the flow of inward and outward breath in both nostrils will be equalized. This can particularly be observed in patients during the
Panchakarma treatment.
