Traditional Tibetan Medicine is a natural confluence of medicine, science and spirituality, dating back to antiquity. while it has some similarities with both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese Medicine, TTM has its own genesis, history, and development - rooted in the Tibetan landscape, the indigenous culture, and the spirit of the Tibetan people. One of the unique features of TTM is that although
it is generally practised alongside Buddhist philosophy, TTM has it own comprehensive philosophy, cosmology, and system of subtle anatomy with associated spiritual practice. In addition, TTM encompasses a wealth of knowledge on anatomy and physiology, embryology, pathology, methods of diagnosis and cure. The science of TTM includes a huge herbal pharmacopoeia, as well as a large body of external therapies little-known outside of Tibet. TTM is holistic - it addresses the individual’s body, mind and spirit in an integrated way. This includes the individual’s internal environment, as well as the way that the individual interacts with the external environment. It is our sincere aim to keep the spirit of Traditional Tibetan Medicine alive in the modern world. A medical system, if not practised in the context of the Western world, simply becomes a museum-piece; an interesting but fossilised artifact with little modern relevance. Traditional Tibetan Medicine has the capacity to be of great benefit to all in the current economic and social climate. We will provide courses and training of the highest standard possible, as well as to provide accurate up-to-date information on Traditional Tibetan Medicine as it is currently practised.
