About

Traditional Tibetan Medicine

Tibetan Medicine is a complete, holistic system of medical science from the traditional culture of Tibet. This science of healing represents a continuous lineage of practice spanning many centuries. Tibetan Medicine is based upon four primary classical texts, known collectively as the “Gyud Zhi” (Four Tantras). The theory of Tibetan Medicine is based on the dynamic balance of the Five Elements, in the context of the elemental physiology of our human condition. This synergistic balance of the Five Elements expresses in our natural world, the seasons, our geographic locations, as well as each individual’s unique elemental constitution.
