Tibetan Doctor & Traditional Healing in Pokhara
Tibetan medicine, known as Sowa Rigpa, is an ancient healing system practiced for over 2,500 years. At its core is Tibetan pulse reading, a highly developed diagnostic method used by skilled Tibetan doctors to assess a person’s health.
Tibetan Pulse Reading – The Art of Diagnosis
A Tibetan doctor places three fingers on each wrist, carefully analyzing the pulse’s rhythm, strength, and quality. This unique method detects imbalances in the body long before symptoms appear. Unlike modern medical equipment, Tibetan pulse reading offers early diagnosis and prevention through natural healing.
Tibetan Herbal Medicine & Healing Therapies
After pulse diagnosis, the doctor prescribes Tibetan herbal medicine and personalized treatments. These remedies are made from Himalayan herbs, minerals, and plants to restore balance in the body.
Three Nyepas (Humors) in Tibetan Medicine:
- Lung (Wind) – Controls circulation & the nervous system
- Tripa (Bile) – Regulates digestion & metabolism
- Beken (Phlegm) – Maintains body fluids & immunity
Tibetan Healing Therapies Include:
✅ Herbal Medicine – Made from over 100 medicinal plants
✅ Moxibustion – Heat therapy to stimulate energy flow
✅ Golden Needle Therapy – A rare form of Tibetan acupuncture
✅ Diet & Lifestyle Guidance – Based on body constitution
