Tibetan Medicine

An Introduction

View of Tibetan Medicine

Tibetan Medicine provides a comprehensive system for maintaining health and preventing disease through diet and lifestyle choices.

The major difference between Tibetan Medicine and other alternative and traditional healing modalities is that treatment is individually designed for your unique attributes. From our point of view, it is vital to make sure the Tibetan doctor you consult takes the time to explain basic theory and how to apply this understanding to your diet and lifestyle choices. A new approach not typically seen in Asia, yet as the system is relatively unknown in the West; through education about how you and your health challenges, psychological states all fit within this system of healing allows for greater integration and success with the system.

The goal is to have balance. Tibetan Buddhist psychology, spiritual well being, personal satisfaction and happiness along with other support systems are applied to increase overall well being.  Traditional diagnosis requires a dietary review, pulse and urine analysis. Ones lifestyle and how it contributes to health and happiness is addressed.This session provides an opportunity to understand individual needs and health goals.

Tibetan Medicine works by accessing an individual’s elements and their organ systems. The body is comprised of three main humors, wind, fire and earth-water, both in a healthy and unhealthy state.

Your First Session

The first session is generally 1.5 hours long. It includes completion of dietary intake forms and health history. You will receive a health plan including diet and lifestyle changes that can increase your well being. You will also receive traditional Tibetan medicine supplements. A second visit to review your progress will be scheduled to provide further improvements on your health plan.
