Transformations of Tibetan Medicine

Janes, Craig R. "The Transformations of Tibetan Medicine". Medical Anthropology Quarterly. 1995. 9(1): 6-29

This aritcle presents a cultural and historical analysis of 20th century Tibetan medicine. While Tibetan medicine has acceeded instituational modernitity through transformations in theory, pactice and methods for training they have not yielded completly to the Chinese state moderization policies. This article will be very benificial in writing my preliminary report for my Cultural History of Medicinal Plants in Bylakupe paper. I understand that practices and methods do change with time and this paper will be able to outline this for me.
