ReviewsThis authoritative overview of the principles of traditional Tibetan medicine is written by a fully qualified physician within that system. Tamdin Bradley has masterfully synopsised and translated the core 12th century text of this tradition, the Four Medical Tantra (rGyud-bzhi), into an easily understandable, accessible and relevant format. As she says herself 'The uniqueness of Tibetan medicine is that it is based on Buddhist philosophical principles, astrology and the close relationship between the mind and body.' She thereby opens this unique system to western academics, researchers and the ordinary person., GThis authoritative overview of the principles of traditional Tibetan medicine is written by a fully qualified physician within that system.
