Priciples of Tibetan Medicine

Bradley Tamdin Sither. "Principles of Tibetan Medicine". Thorsons: Hammersmith,London. 2000. Print

This book provides an introduction into Tibetan Medicine starting with the history of Tibetan medicine, the sciences of healing (gso-ba Rig-pa), and the theory of Tibetan medicine. The author then explores causation of illnesses, common diseases and illnesses, methods of diagnosing and then techniques. This book will be very beneficial to my History of Medicinal Plants in Bylakuppe India class because it will briefly cover most of the topics I need to explore for the class. It will prepare me for what I observe in India.
