Tibetan Medicine: A Practical and Inspirational Guide to Diagnosing, Treating and Healing The Buddhist Way [Paperback]

Gerti Samel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2001

The Tibetan people have developed an approach to medical science drawn from thousands of years of accumulated wisdom and intuition about the nature of health and illness. Tibetan medical theory acknowledges how health and illness result both from the relationship between the mind and body, and people's connection to the natural world. The author of this book worked closely with a renowned Tibetan doctor and pharmacologist to create this beautifully illustrated guide, bringing readers a vivid picture of both the practical and spiritual dimensions of Tibetan medicine.
