All that I do by way of speaking and writing, and all my ventures in the political field, are directed to this same end." While hundreds of biographies and histories have been written about Gandhi (1869-1948), nearly all of them have focused on the national, political, social, economic, educational, environmental, or familial dimensions of his life. Very few, in recounting how Gandhi led his country to political freedom, have viewed his struggle primarily as a search of spiritual liberation. Shifting the focus to the understudied subject of Gandhi's spiritual life, Arvind Sharma retells the story of Gandhi's life through this lens. Illuminating unsuspected dimensions of Gandhi's inner world and uncovering their surprising connections with his outward actions, Sharma explores the eclectic religious atmosphere in which Gandhi was raised, his belief in karma and rebirth, his conviction that morality and religion are synonymous, his attitudes toward tyranny and freedom, and, perhaps most important, the mysterious source of his power to establish new norms of human conduct. This book enlarges our understanding of one of history's most profoundly influential figures, a man whose trust in the power of the spirit helped liberate millions.StatesmenReligious lifeIndiaBiographyReligious leadersBiographyElectronic books.StatesmenReligious lifeReligious leaders954.035Sharma Arvind562116MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466006503321Gandhi2471308UNINA06083nam 2200601 450 991048380870332120240209142916.03-030-48798-910.1007/978-3-030-48798-0(CKB)4100000011610089(MiAaPQ)EBC6408011(DE-He213)978-3-030-48798-0(Au-PeEL)EBL6408011(OCoLC)1227391451(BIP)075842769(PPN)252509285(EXLCZ)99410000001161008920210318d2021 uy 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBlack cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds chemistry, technology, functionality, and applications. /Mohamed Fawzy Ramadan, editor1st ed. 2021.Cham, Switzerland :Springer,[2021]20211 online resource (XXII, 558 p. 59 illus., 35 illus. in color.)Food Bioactive Ingredients3-030-48797-0 1.Introduction to black cumin (Nigella sative): Chemistry, Technology, Functionality and Applications -- Section 1.

Health promoting activities of Nigella sativa seed extracts.Recent developments in the field of nutrition have led to increased interest in herbs and medicinal plants as phytochemical-rich sources for functional food, nutraceuticals, and drugs. As research sheds light on the therapeutic potential of various bioactive phytochemicals, the demand for plant extracts and oils has increased. Black cumin or black seeds (Nigella sativa) have particularly widespread nutritional and medicinal applications. In traditional medicine, black seeds are used to manage fatigue and chronic headache. Black seed oil is used as an antiseptic and analgesic remedy and for treatment of joint's pain and stiffness and can be mixed with sesame oil to treat dermatosis, abdominal disorders, cough, headache, fever, liver ailments, jaundice, sore eyes, and hemorrhoids. Thymoquinone, the main constituent in black seed volatile oil, has been shown to suppress carcinogenesis. Black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds: Chemistry, Technology, Functionality, and Applications presents in detail the chemical composition, therapeutic properties, and functionality of high-value oils, phytochemicals, nutrients, and volatiles of the Nigella sativa seed. Organized by formulation (seeds, fixed oil, essential oil, and extracts), chapters break this seed down into its chemical constituents and explore their role in the development of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, novel food, natural drugs, and feed. Following numerous reports on the health-promoting activities of Nigella sativa, this is the first comprehensive presentation of the functional, nutritional, and pharmacological traits of Nigella sativa seeds and seed oil constituents.Food Bioactive Ingredients,2661-8958Botanical chemistryRanunculàciesthubFitoquímicathubAntisèpticsthubPlantes medicinalsthubLlibres electrònicsthubBotanical chemistry.RanunculàciesFitoquímicaAntisèpticsPlantes medicinals572.2Fawzy Ramadan MohamededtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483808703321Black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds2804883UNINA
