Tibetan Medicine ranks among one of the oldest, continuously used medical systems in the world. It has been successfully practiced for centuries in Tibet, China, Mongolia and Buddhist regions of Russia, Central Asia and the Himalayas. The Tibetan medical system can contribute substantially to maintaining a healthy mind and healthy body. Like the traditional Indian and Chinese systems, Tibetan medicine views health as a question of balance. A variety of circumstances such as diet, lifestyles, seasonal and mental conditions can disturb this natural balance, which gives rise to different kinds of disorders.
Treatment involves dietary and behavioral advice, medication and accessory therapies. Medicines are obtained from natural sources such as herbs, minerals and organic products and prepared under controlled conditions. These ingredients are inexpensive and easily available. The medicines themselves have few side-effects, are not symptomatic and have a preventive as well as a curative effect. Tibetan medicine is deeply integrated with Buddhist practice and theory which stresses the indivisible interdependence of mind, body and vitality. The ideal doctor is one who combines sound medical understanding with strong realization of wisdom and compassion. Tibetan medicine is characterized by a special proficiency in treating diseases of the spleen and stomach, warm-natured and hot-natured diseases, edema and high blood pressure. It also has special therapies for rheumatic diseases caused by high-altitude. Tibetan medicine was closely connected with Buddhism. The monks mainly carried out pharmacy and medical treatment in the monasteries. With the recent explosion of fascination with Tibet and Tibetan culture, Tibetan medicine is receiving greater attention from the public, scholars and the media in the West.
