Tibetan Medicine
The Buddhist Way of Healing
Dolkar Khangkar
Tibetan medicine is a traditional Buddhist form of healing which generally employs natural materials (herbs, minerals, precious stones, metals, etc.) to make medicinal compounds. It also takes a holistic approach, and responds to the symptoms of disease at both the physical and emotional levels. Beautifully illustrated with color reproductions from traditional texts, this book describes how Buddhist medicine was practiced by monks and patronized by the Dalai Lamas, and how later, through certain families, it became a specialized community service. Today it is practiced only by a handful of authorized amchis, or doctors, and is in danger of becoming a lost art.
