Health Through Balance: An Introduction to Tibetan Medicine - Paperback

by Yeshi Dhonden (Author), Jeffrey Hopkins (Editor), Jeffrey Hopkins (Translator)

Tibetan medicine holistically restores and maintains balance of the body's various systems through a variety of treatments, including diet, behavior modification, and the use of medicine and accessory therapy. Tibetan medicine is delicately responsive to patients' complete symptom patterns--no complaint being disregarded. Its wide variety of curative techniques are clearly explained. Dr. Donden's book was seen on NBC's Dateline during a feature on Tibetan medicine and breast cancer.
