A short introduction to Traditional Tibetan medicine (Tibetan: བོད་ཀྱི་གསོ་བ་རིག་པ་, Wylie: Ggso ba rig pa), also known as Sowa-Rigpa medicine, is a centuries-old traditional medical system that employs a complex approach to diagnosis, incorporating techniques such as pulse analysis and urinalysis, and utilizes behavior and dietary modification, medicines composed of natural materials (e.g., herbs and minerals) and physical therapies (e.g. Tibetan acupuncture, moxabustion, etc.) to treat illness.

Recorded at the 2016 Tibetan Rejuvenation Immersion at Menla Mountain Retreat in Phoenicia, NY with Dr Nida Chenagtsang & Robert Thurman. For information about upcoming programs on Tibetan Healing please visit: http://menla.us/
