Tibetan Medicine is a fully holistic system, highly esteemed throughout Asia for its subtle and accurate diagnoses and effective treatment. It focuses on treating the root cause of symptoms unique to each person and seeks to restore a healthy balance to body and mind.
Traditional Tibetan Medicine offers a truly holistic approach to your health and wellbeing. The Tibetan medical system focuses on treating the root cause of the problem as opposed to alleviating the discomfort caused by the symptoms.
It can be used alone or .in conjunction with Western medicine.
It recognises how dietary, psychological, lifestyle and environmental factors cause imbalance in the body and mind.
The practitioner, Lobsang Dhonden Soktsang, will see you in strictest confidence. Although his English is still improving, if you speak slowly and clearly, he will be able to understand what is necessary for your consultation. If you have any doubts about this, in each of his clinics there is an assistant for the clinic of the day.
Treatment focuses on four areas: diet and behaviour, herbal medication, and external treatments.
- Diet and Behaviour
The doctor may suggest changes in lifestyle and diet, which are integral to treatment. - Herbal medication
Will be dispensed as powder or pills. - External treatments
The practitioner may also use acupuncture or moxibustion usually in short courses on consecutive days. Moxibustion uses heated herbs or warmed herbal packs on meridian points similar to those used in acupuncture.
