| Traditional Tibetan Healing, Inc. The Tibetan Science of Healing - "Sopa Rig" in Tibetan - has been taught and practiced throughout Central Asia for at least 1100 years. Elements of Indian, Chinese and Greek medical traditions are integrated with Tibetan practices in a Coherent and powerful system. Today it continues to be practiced in Tibet, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Mongolia and is spreading to North America and Europe. This is an effective and natural method of improving physical and mental health. Causes of Health & Illness: Physical and mental health require a balanced circulation of three energies -Bile, Phlegm and vital wind - through the channels, organs, tissues and coordinating centers of the body. When these energies are out of balance or impeded in their flow, illness results. The cause of energetic imbalance and blockage include poor diet, emotional shock or trauma, fatigue, tension, over-work, exposure to bad weather, and micro-organisms. The balance and flow of the energy System are assessed by feeling six pulse on each wrist, visual examination of urine samples, and questioning. Herbal-mineral supplements are given to correct any imbalances that are found and to remove impediments to energetic flow. Recommendations for changing diet are also given. In some cases moxibustion is used to add heat and circulation. Together these methods work to optimize the energetics of the body and mind, enabling them to heal themselves. Tibetan Herbal Supplements are combined according to classical formulas to balance out all except for a single potency aimed at correcting a specific type of energy imbalance. Traditional Tibetan Healing Massage Oil Prepared by Amjee Keyzom Bhutti from different medicinal herbs and oils according to the ancient Tibetan science of healing. Instantly relieves Arthritis pain. Balances physical and mental energies, promotes relaxation and free flow of energies, relieves stress and accumulated toxicity. Also helps to improve memory. Dietary and Life-style Recommendations are also given to aid in correcting the balance and flow of energies. Moxibustion is a method of facilitating the flow of energies by heating certain points on the surface of the body. A smoldering stick of a shredded herb (mugwort) is held close to the point to radiate heat into it. This technique is especially effective in alleviating chronic pain in muscles and joints. Tibetan Medicine ~ an overview In the 7th century, King Songsten Gampo adopted Buddhism in Tibet. He was responsible for the international medical conference in Tibet, inviting physicians from India, China, Nepal, Byzantium and Persia to translate their medical texts into Tibetan. The ideas exchanged and knowledge imparted became the founding of what is now considered one of the oldest complete medical systems in Tibet. The core of this medical system is based on the unique concept of healing as developed by Buddhist philosophy, (which sees the mind as inextricably linked to all phenomena, including illness and wellness). The Tibetans expanded and combined practices from the foreign medical texts into a whole array of ideas and concepts along with actual treatments and medications. This first international conference during the 7th century developed into a complex system of healing which interweaves spiritual, 'magical' and rational healing practices based on the view of health as a harmonious balance between Man's deep relationship with his physical, mental, spiritual and natural worlds. The Tibetan medical system developed a vast body of medical literature, the oldest surviving written system of medical psychiatry, an enormous herbal pharmacopoeia and a complete system of diagnosis and treatment. The diverse and complex elements that constitute Tibetan medicine -- its highly refined ethical principles, its philosophical and psychological structure - created a sub-culture of medical practitioners that hold themselves up to the highest standards of practice on both a psychological and, in many cases, spiritual plane. The three Nye-Pas or the three poisons of delusion which constitute the human types and associated illnesses: Rlung associated with the wind element Ruled by Desire Mhris-Pa associated with the fire element Ruled by Hatred Bak-Dan associated with the earth & water elements Ruled by Delusion The preliminary study of Tibetan Medicine is taken from four volumes of Tantric Medical texts written by Gyushi in the 11th Century, and transcribed by Desi Rinpoche in the 17th Century during the reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama. The medical knowledge was also painted as a guide on a series of 79 thangkas, which detailed all aspects of Medical practices. These thankga paintings cover all aspects of the texts, including the vast pharmacopoeia, the body in health and disease, diagnosis, treatment, particular types of disease, and the qualities and ethics a physician should have. There are many aspects of treatment, which in understanding the depth and breadth of the knowledge needed to practice Tibetan Medicine, involves years of study. Several methods are used for diagnosis, including the art of pulse taking, which are described as "reading the force of the wind on the waves (blood)." Urine analysis for diagnosis and the preparation of medicines derived from plants, minerals, and (rarely) animals is also a large part of the diagnostic and treatment methods used in this traditional medical practice. It is said that: "The doctor is responsible for healing the disease. Giving advice is also up to the doctor. The patient is responsible for the causes and must curb them to maintain / restore their health." His Holiness, the Dalai Lama speaks of the correlation between Tibetan Medical Practice and Buddhism, in regard to their being separate, but if the physician is a practicing Buddhist, then prayers and mantras may be recited during the preparation of medicines and dispensation of treatment, to further purify the causes of illness. In addition, if the patient is Buddhist, prayers and mantras may be recited at these times also, to enhance the psycho-spiritual potency of the treatment. The qualities looked for in a physician are outlined in the Root Tantra: An analytical mind with some intuitive knowledge Exhibit compassion and possess a good heart Exhibit respect for medical ethics and a commitment to the profession Exhibit no revulsion when seeing bodily fluids Consider all medicines and medical scriptures as wish fulfilling jewels, including blessings according to proper rituals Must have patience in body speech and mind Exhibit a continued effort to learn and gain experience Their manner should be gentle and contented and helpful toward the destitute The physician should know by heart the causative factors of diseases and their proper treatment . The definition of the physician is one who heals all pain and practices medicine to promote good health. It is noted in the text that the concentration required when seeing a patient is the same as the concentration needed by a person walking on a wall with a bowl of milk and butter on his head, threatened with death if a single drop is spilled.

The focus of herbalism is to support the body's self healing ability. Herbs nourish us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When we take herbs the essence enters the acupuncture meridian and adjusts the vital flow of energy in the body. Herbs are strong foods, so by eating them we enrich ourselves with a vast array of nutrients. The energetic classification of herbs is a science which has been refined over the last 3000 years. Today, we see further refinement due to the changing profile of disease. HISTORY The history of Chinese Medicine dates back to the writings of the Yellow Emperors Inner Classic ( Huang Di Nei Jing). This work of art is a dialogue between the Yellow Emperor(2697-2597 B.C.) and his physician Qi Bo, in which they discuss the whole spectrum of ChineseMedicine- including topics such as Acupuncture, Yin-Yang, Five Elements pathology, diagnosis, and etiology of disease. The work was compiled around 305-204 B.C.The Inner Classic is the foundation for theory and philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chinese Herbal Medicine is a compilation of experimentation and research dating back to a tribal chief named Shen Nong who resided in China along the great Yellow River Plateau (2700B.C.). He is famous for ingesting many substances to record first hand their effect. In all he recorded around 365 healing substances and wrote the first book on Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (The Classic of Materia Medica- Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing).The work was compiled around 206 B.C. The historical tradition continued with the work of a famous physician who lived around the third Centuary A.D. named Zhang Zhong Jing. He was one of the most celebrated Chinese physicians who compiled two classics- (Shang Han Lun-Discussion of Cold Induced disease) and (Jin Gui Yao Lun-Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber) These works are still referenced today for the diagnosis, treatment, and differentiation of yin-yang and 6 stages Chinese Medicine is a branch of the Taoist healing arts which include Acupuncture, Tai Qi Chuan, meditation, Chi Gong, astrology, I Ching, and Geomancy. Around 452 A.D. a Taoist named Tao Hong Jing contributed to Chinese Herbal Medicine by editing the original Classics of Materia Medica according to kingdom - plants, animal, etc. He also increased the total entries to 730 substances.In 1618 A.D. during the Tang Dynasty the government contributed by compiling the first official Materia Medica named Xin Xiu Ben Cao. This great work includes 844 illustrated pages. During the Sung Dynasty ( 960-1279 A.D.), a physician named Tang Shen Wei increased the Materia Medica to 1746 substances. By 1590 A.D. the most comprehensive medical book named Grand Materia Medica-(Ben Cao Gang Mu) was compiled by Li Shi Zhen. With over 52 volumes, and 30 years over research,it includes 1892 substances with over 100 illustrations and 10,000 prescriptions Today the Materia Medica is being further refined by clinical and scientific data. Most of the research is being done in China. Each herb is listed with the properties, acupuncture meridian entered, functions, clinical use, major combinations, dosage,and pharmacological research-such as antimicrobial effect, antiviral effect, antifungal effect, effect on blood pressure, effect on smooth muscle, endocrine effect, central nervous system effect, use in gynecology, etc. The following is a list of the QUALITIES of herbs. FOUR ENERGIES The four energies are Hot, Cold, Warm, and Cool. There is also a neutral category. For illness with a cool nature the formula will be warm. For disorders with a hot nature the formula will be cold etc. FIVE TASTES The five tastes are sour, bitter, pungent, sweet, and salty. Sour is astringent and herbs in this category consolidate Qi and secretions. Sour herbs nourish the Liver and GallbladderBitter Herbs are drying, detoxifying, antibiotic, and drain Qi downward. Bitter herbs strengthen the Heart and Small Intestine Sweet herbs are tonic, nourishing, relaxing, and slow Qi down. Sweet herbs harmonize the Spleen and Stomach Pungent herbs stimulate, warm, raise Qi from the interior to the exterior. Pungent herbs strengthen the Lungs and Large Intestine. HERBAL FORMULATIONS As the knowledge of single herbs increased, physicians refined herbology by combining herbs in formulas. This art can only be accomplished after one knows extensively the properties of the single herbs. When herbs are combined, the synergy inhances the scope of the therapeutic Diet and nutrition play an important role in the Chinese Medical Arts. It goes beyond vitamins and minerals but looks at the energetic properties of food. These qualities include - taste, color, temperature, meridian entered, direction, yin-yang, organ nourished, and treatment principle. Diet selection is based upon a diagnosis performed by a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. If a patient displays signs of defiency and cold , the Acupuncturist will recommend tonifying and warm foods in the diet. Mastering food selection in today's fast pace world is near impossible. All we can try to do is keep balance in mind. This is achieved by eating in moderation and being aware of taste and variety. Taste is very important because the primary taste sends nutrition via the acupuncture meridians to the corresponding organ.If we eat a balanced meal with many tastes, then we feel satisfied and won't look to binge immediately afterward. TASTE Sweet: nourish Spleen and Stomach grains, sugar, sweet fruits-bananas, blueberries, oranges, figs, dates, honey, molasses,etc. Sour: nourish liver, gallbladder tomatoes, vinegar, chicken, turkey, green apples, lemons, grapefruit, etc. Pungent: nourish Lung and Large Intestine onions, garlic, ginger, peppers, etc Bitter: nourish Heart, Small Intestine kale,lettuce, broccoli, argula, endive, collard greens, etc. Salty: nourishes the kidney and bladder eggs, tofu, fish, miso, sea vegetables (arame, hiziki, kombu, kelp,etc), COLOR The color of a food will play a secondary role to the taste.For example- a green, bitter food- kale-will nourish the heart because of its bitter taste, but will also nourish the liver because of its green color. Green foods nourish the liver and gallbladder ex. celery,kale, lettuce Red- foods nourish the heart and small intestine ex. apples,red peppers Yellow - foods nourish the spleen and stomach ex. yellow squash white -foods nourish the lungs and large intestine ex. white onions black - foods nourish the kidney and bladder ex. black sesame seeds The following is an example how foods are classified. 1.
