Tibetan Medicine

Tibetan medicine is a synthesis of systems, based on Indian and Chinese traditional medicine, and Tibetan Buddhism, with elements of Arabic medicine. Tibetan medicine, which originated in the 7th century A.D., has survived intact, unlike Chinese traditions which have been fragmented by cultural and political upheavals. This holistic system takes into account such factors as diet, lifestyle, environment, weather, attitudes and emotions along with any symptoms of disease. Illness is expressed in terms of humors that exist in all living things. The root of a disease is traced to three poisons: attachment, aversion and confusion. Diagnosis is based on pulse-taking, urine analysis, tongue diagnosis and observation. Treatments may include herbal medicine, along with massage, acupuncture, dietary and behavioral advice, religious rituals and purification techniques.
