Tibet Tıbbı.

Tibetan medicine is one of the five major sciences, called gSoba Rig-pa, the science of healing, originating some 2500 years ago. Despite their exile, Tibetans have preserved the teachings in Dharmsala, India, including the seven-year training course necessary for becoming a doctor of Tibetan medicine. An essential aspect of the science is in the analysis, diagnosis and treatment of a person's condition, which rely principally on urine, pulse and tongue diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the philosophy, principles and practices of Tibetan medicine and its view on health and how imbalances are expressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
