Tibetan medical practice
︎
Tibetan medical practice dates back at least to the twelfth century, and has been evolving ever since. Nowadays its regional distribution extends across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Himalayan region (including Ladakh, northern India, Nepal, and Bhutan), and north up to Mongolia and Buryatia. Although labelled rather pejoratively as ‘alternative’ medicine, Tibetan medical formulas are time-tested and this healing tradition is socially validated, by millions of patients over the centuries. Here you can see different documentaries and talks about the Tibetan medical tradition.
