Tibetan Medicine

Tibetan Medicine According to Tibetan medicine, Bhaisajya-guru is sometimes invoked as a spiritual force in order to heal disease. Tibetan medicine is moreover a spiritual and holistic therapy that is rooted in the belief that both personal suffering and suffering, in general, is a universal condition and must be treated in a metaphysical, spiritual and compassionate way. By using Tibetan medicine, freedom is gained from affliction and allows persons to live in total well-being.

What is Tibetan Medicine


Tibetan Medicine is a spiritual type of medicine that is known as "Gso-wa Rig-pa,", which means the knowledge of healing that is derived from historical Buddha teachings. Highly valued in Tibet and central Asia, Tibetan medicine is a based on an ideology that well being is directly related to the mind, body and spirit's ability to achieve whole health. Tibetan medicine utilizes three forms of therapeutic strategies: mantra, medicinal entities, and the power of meditation.

Tibetan medicine enables healing through universal principles and earthly manifestations. In doing so, harmony and balance are brought back between the cosmic universe. Tibetan medicine also involves alternative medicines, diet modifications and practical advisement. Chants, mantra, music, Iconography (Iconography - religious imagery painted on small wooden panels), prayer wheels and many other symbolic objects are used in Tibetan medicine as well. The theory behind Tibetan medicine is that diseases are the mental factors that cause all illness. With a strong belief in Karma (the law of cause and effect), Tibetan medicine is based on the "Three Interior Poisons." The poisons are construed as the foundation of all disease (desire, hatred and ignorance). The views of Tibetan medicine are founded on emotional, physical and cognitive interactions in finding the "cause and effect" of illness.
