Talk:Sowa Rigpa (Traditional Tibetan medicine)

message: What are references like 'Determination of Free Fatty Acids in Tibet Folk Medicine Lomatogonium rotatum with Fluorescence Detection and Mass Spectrometric Identification' doing here? We need references to the Tibtan opus surely? One could hope that a contributor was able to provide Tibetan characters. Rinpoche (talk) 00:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs content

message: a big chunk seems to be lifted from http://www.men-tsee-khang.org/medicine/mhistory.htm which is also referenced by another site here: http://www.rinpoche.com/stories/tibet3.htm 
the use of "we" in this section leads me to believe that this wasn't written for wikipedia. ViniTheHat (talk) 04:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Nothing is said about the actual content of TTM. Just some sketchy (and not understandable to the general reader) hints about its fundamental theory. There is much more to say also on this issue. Nothing about the the theory of therapy. Nothing about the herbs, their combination into formulae and the clinical use of these. Nothing on the origin of the fundamental theory (which is btw obviously the ayurvedic). Are the TTM formulae identical to the ayurvedic or are they different? In what do they differ? 
As in other articles on Asian trad. medicines it looks the edtors are lost in the endless, silly polemic on whether they are proven scientifically either effective or harmful. What about writing on some of the great clinical experience accumulated by famous traditional doctors over the centuries in treating liver, kidney, heart, circulation deseases and on thier also famous formulae? (e. g. 25, 70 tastes pearl pill for one).
Any informed person can see TTM is in its essence an adaptation of ayurveda with the addition of local traditional lore about local (highland) herbs. I am not able to compare the formulae of the two though but someone else must do this.Aldrasto11 (talk) 05:34, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
