Y. Donden The fascinating Tibetan medical system clearly explained by the former personal physician to the Dalai Lama. Tibetan medicine restores and maintains balance among the three humors of the body through a variety of treatments - diet and behaviour modification as well as accessory therapy. The basic system has been enhanced by the practical findings of Tibetan physicians who have used the system for more than a thousand years. Dr Dhonden holistically considers factors of personality, season, age, climatic condition, diet, behaviour, and physical surroundings in addressing the means of restoring health. The great strength of Tibetan medicine is that it is delicately responsive to patients complete sympton pattern - no complaint being disregarded - and it`s wide variety of curative techniques are described in this book. "Dr.Dhonden is totally attuned to everything that is going on. He uses all his senses as his medical instrument. Our patients have been very impressed." Dr.Geral Goldstein, University of Virginia. |
