Tibetan medical science and phytotherapy

Abstract: The theoretical base of Tibetan medicine is the theory of the three humours. Prevalent in the diagnostic procedures is the pulse diagnosis. Therapy is based on phytotherapy which has a long Tradition. The blending of this traditional medicine with Buddhist philosophy in its tantric form emerges into a perfect Buddhist medicine. This manuscript is the result of many visits in Dharamsala, of continious contacts with the TMI and many interviews with the physicians and pharmacologists there - at last in spring 1992. A list of the literature on Tibetan Medicine in western languages is available and can be ordered from the author.
