Geshe Dorji Wangchuk explains the basic principles and healing qualities of Tibetan herbal medicine as well as the diagnostic methods. These often include pulse reading.
The Tibetan medical system uniquely integrates Chinese and Indian systems and the European system of Galen. Frequently doctors of medicine were also religious monks because it is well understood that the body-mind system is one and that physical illness always begins in the mind and spirit. Besides prescribing herbs, massage, and accupuncture, practitionerss may also prescribe specific meditational practices.
