Tibetan medicine

Tibetan medicine has a history of 2,000 years. According to the historical record, several centuries ago, during the lengthy course of fighting the nature and disease by Tibetans, some part of fauna and flora and mineral products are found to deliver people from pains. They thought, “poison could be used as an antidote to poison”. Then they developed the medicinal knowledge of stanching bleeding by using butter.

With the people's recognition to nature and productive development, Tibetans accumulated rich experience for Tibetan medicine. When the Han Princess Wencheng and Jingcheng came to Tibet in marriage, they brought a large number of books on traditional Chinese medicine and medical practitioners and promoted the Tibetan medical development. Among them, the most famous Tibetan medical practitioner in the 8th century was Yuthok Nyingma Yonten Gonpo systematically compiled the Four Medical Tantras as the result of combining art and medicine, whose major works are systematically described through colored wall charts which are convenient for people to study and understand. It is not only the initiative in our country but also being rare in the world.

Tibetan medicine has the astonishing description in the embryology of humanity and the formation of human body in early times as well as many remarkable features of curative effects on medical treatment. For instance, the ready-made medicines to cure hemiplegia with seventy medical peal herbs and hypertension with the red coral are all testified by medicinal experiments as good dosages. Specially, they have very remarkble curative effects on curing leprosy and cancer.
