Traditional Tibetan Medicine has been practiced in Himalayan countries for over 1000 years and is available at  Kagyu Samye Dzong Dublin. Between the 8^th and 13^th centuries, Tibetan sages evolved a unique medical science, integrating the finest elements of Indian Ayurvedic, Chinese, Persian, Mongolian and indigenous Tibetan systems.

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.

Imbalances are predominantly detected by examining your pulse. The practitioner uses it to ‘listen in’ to the workings of the entire body including all the major organs. For the practitioner this is even more important than what you might need to tell him!

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.
