In Tibetan Medicine the mind and body are seen as inseparable from one

another. Therefore emotional stress can lead to physical problems and

mistreatment of the body can lead to mental disease. The underlying cause of

mental illness is considered the imbalance of the 5 elements of the body, due to

improper diet, lifestyle, season and influences of unseen forces.

 

A Tibetan Doctor brings the five elements back into balance with diet and

lifestyle changes as well as herbal and external treatments.

 

Sponsored by the Asian Languages and Civilizations Department, the Hamilton

Fund, the Religion Department at Amherst College, and the Shang Shung Institute.
