From the 7th to the 10th century, Tibetan kings encouraged physicians from throughout the known world to teach their skills to Tibetan doctors. Based on the long tradition of integrated healing systems that resulted, this preventive health care manual for people of any age, culture and physical type introduces the four levels of traditional Tibetan medicine, herbal healing, acupuncture, and less well-known therapies such as Pancha Karma for detoxification and rejuvenation and Kum Nye for integrating mind and body. Readers can take a self-profile test to determine their own health needs. With 35 b - w illustrations.
