To the great joy and honor of the author, after completing the book, Mr. Samdup Lhatse, director of the Men-Tsee-Khang (School of Tibetan Medicine and Astrology in Dharamsala, North India), invited him to revise the book with him and his physicians. In the past, only individual, selected monks were taught Tibetan medicine, or knowledge was transferred from generation to generation within families. It is only in recent decades that laymen and non-Tibetans have also been granted access to this well-founded knowledge. Today, Tibetan medicine is practiced only by a few authorized emchies (Tibetan doctors) worldwide. In this book, this old healing system is vividly explained. Personal experiences, interviews with contemporary Tibetan doctors, and illustrations of Tibetan Thankas (Tibetan paintings) round off the content.
