| Resources on Tibetan Medicine | | | | Tibetan Medicine Beginning in about the fourth century, A.D., the Tibetan people began expanding their own medical knowledge with information drawn from other cultures. Eventually the process became quite formal, with government sponsored conferences bringing together doctors from other lands and medical traditions, for theoretical debate and clinical demonstrations of methods for dealing with health problems of all sorts. Physicians who demonstrated superior skill and understanding were invited to stay and work with the best Tibetan doctors. Eventually, this combined medical understanding, refined, systematized and highly effective, led to Tibet's reputation, throughout the entire region, as the Land of Medicine. |

Health Dictionary on Tibetan medicine Tibetan medicine (Amchi, Emchi): A largely allopathic system that stems from Ayurveda, Bon (see Bon shamanic practices), Chinese medicine, and Unani. Tibetan medicine encompasses acupuncture and moxibustion and heals both the physical and the psychic being. Its theory posits reincarnation, evil spirits, tutelary gods, and three physiological principles (bodily energies): wind, bile (gall), and phlegm. According to Tibetan medical theory, karma strongly influences 101 disorders caused by afflictive emotions (e.g., desire or hatred); another 101 disorders caused by such emotions involve spirits (harmful unseen forces); and it is appropriate to expose certain medical substances to the light of the full moon. The terms Tibetan medicine and Tibetan Buddhist Medicine appear synonymous. (See also: Tibetan medicine, Body Mind and Soul, Alternative Health, Alternative Health Dictionary)

| | |  Tibetan Medicine: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - CultureTibet boasts a rich culture. Tibetan festivals such as Losar, Shoton, Linka, and the Bathing Festival are deeply rooted in indigenous religion and also contain foreign influences. Each person takes part in the Bathing Festival three times: at birth, at marriage, and at death. It is traditionally believed that people should not bathe casually, but only on the most important occasions.

| | | | Tibetan Medicine: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Religion Tibetans generally observe Tibetan Buddhism and a collection of native traditions known as Bön (also absorbed into mainstream Tibetan Buddhism). The Tibetan Muslims are also known as the Kache.
Legend said that the 28th king of Tibet, Lhatotori Nyentsen, dreamed of a sacred treasure falling from heaven, which contained a Buddhist sutra, mantras, and religious objects. However, because the modern Tibetan script was not introduced to the people, no one knew what was written on the sutra upon the first look. Buddhism did not take root i ...

| | | | Tibetan Medicine: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Divisions The Tibetan people are divided into several groups. These include the Changri, Nachan, and Hor, who are further divided into fifty-one sub-tribes, each of them maintaining a distinct yet related cultural identity.
The Tibetans living in Kham are of Qiang descent and speak a Qiangic language, although they are not officially classified as part of the Qiang minority. The Hor, who are further sub-divided into thirty-nine sub-tribes, are of Mongolian descent. The Tibetans in Kham are also known as the Khampa, while those in the far west a ...

| | | | Tibetan Medicine: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Notable features Since the late 19th century, the Chinese presence in Eastern Tibet has increased, and often the Khambas there are bilingual. Still, mixed marriages between Tibetans and Chinese are not common.
Tibetans typically have light brown skin, black, somewhat wavy or even curly hair, moderately high cheekbones, and brown eyes, although some have very light hazel or green eyes, due to their Mongol heritage. The men typically have full moustaches but sparse beards; traditionally, they pluck out their beards with tweezers. Nomads have long braided hair, an ...

| | | | Tibetan Medicine: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Origins It is generally agreed that Tibetans share a considerable genetic background with Mongols, although other main influences do exist. Some anthropologists have suggested an Indo-Scythian component, and others a Southeast Asian component; both are credible given Tibet's geographic location. The romantic claim that American Hopi and Tibetans are close cousins is not likely to find support in genetic studies, although strong cultural similarities may be found between the two groups. Some light has been shed on their origins, however, by one gene ...

| | | | Tibetan Medicine: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Clothing Most Tibetans wear their hair long, although in recent times some men do crop their hair short. The women plait their hair into two queues, the girls into a single queue. Men who keep their hair long coil it on top of their heads, often wrapped in a red cloth that serves as a turban.
Because of Tibet's cold weather, women wear skirts and silk or cloth jackets. The men wear long, loose trousers, accompanied by a loose and sometimes sleeveless gown, with a band at the top tied on the right, and woolen or leather boots. One or both sleev ...
