How does Tibetan Medicine work?

Tibetan medicine is an ancient form of healing which aims to balance the 5 elements of the body through the three humors. Diet, lifestyle and paying attention to seasonal changes are central in the treatment. The root causes of disease are assessed and directly worked with to bring resulting symptoms into balance. For some people the treatment emphasizes mostly dietary and behavioral changes, such as what to avoid and promote. For others treatment can include traditional dietary supplements to assist the inner elements and various organ systems to return to optimal functioning. Traditionally accessory therapy may also be administered, such as moxabustion, cupping, acupressure or acupuncture, and massage therapies. Nashalla does not practice acupuncture within the USA. When in the USA she depends on her many years of acupressure with the same results.  more
