tibetan medicine information

The Tibetan Medicine tradition takes the entire body, mind and spirit into focus to obtain health and wellness, and is embodied in the Buddhist tradition.   Tibetan Medicine employs meditation as a key element to successful spiritual self-healing.  Massage is also a very common practice within Tibetan Medicine, as is moxibustion – the heating of certain points on the body to change the course of energy flow into their rightful place.  Herbs and other dietary treatments are used for many specific conditions and illnesses.  It is believed that good health requires a balance of energies and, when these energies are not in balance, illness can occur.  Diet, emotional issues, stress and even viruses and unhealthy organisms are seen as the root causes of many illnesses from the traditional Tibetan medical perspective.  And managing these factors will put you and your energies back in balance and harmony – that is the basis of Tibetan Healing.
