Dr. Tsundu Sengye Nyinda TMD, Menpa 

Dr. Tsundu Sengye Nyinda, Menpa TMD was born as a Tibetan Refugee in Southern India. He longed to study Tibetan Medicine as a young man because he felt it would be beneficial to others and stay traditional to his culture. He joined the Chagpori Tibetan Medical Institute in Darjeeling in 1993 and trained under the guidance of Venerable Trogawa Rinpoche.

Tsundu earned his Kachupa (Tibetan Medical Doctor) degree in 1997. After internship with the Men-Tsee-Khang clinic in Sikkim, he worked as both a pharmacist preparing medicines and as a clinic doctor for several of Chagpori’s clinics in the Darjeeling hills. In 2001 he was awarded a Gold Medal by the International Institute of Health and Science, India. He joined the Central Council of Tibetan Medicine in its inception. Acupuncture Certificates were also earned from the Sera Gompa in Byalkuppe, South India, allowing him to expand his knowledge or Asian sciences.

He was a Registered Medical Practitioner with the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine until he immigrated to the USA. Tsundu feels it is vitally important as a native Tibetan working in Tibetan Medicine in the United States, to offer a platform of authentic care, and give detailed explanations of the system for those he serves. Known for his kindness and willingness to explain the system, he strives as a co-director of the Nyinda Clinic of Tibetan Medicine & Holistic Healing to help Tibetan Medicine become a recognized and respected system of healthcare in the North American continent.
