Tibetan Medicine is very exact and comprehensive: illnesses are strictly categorised and treated with combinations of remedies that help the body to regain its overall balance. The most skilled practitioners can diagnose every weakness and malfunction simply by taking the patient's pulse, and their recommendations will cover diet, lifestyle and spiritual values, as well as herbal and other remedies.
The author, Gerti Samel, conducted her extensive research for this book in Ladakh and Dharamsala, where she spoke to the Dalai Lama himself, a number of masters of Tibetan medicine who were forced to flee from their homeland in 1959, and several members of the new, younger generation of doctors who strive for closer collaboration with Western colleagues. She explains the history of Tibetan medicine, the classification systems and the types of treatments prescribed, and then she offers practical advice for people suffering from a range of common ailments, so that readers can use this book to treat themselves.
Tibetan Medicine is a beautifully illustrated, comprehensive and fascinating insight into an ancient healing system that provides highly effective remedies for all illnesses of the modern age. Vissza
