HEALTH THROUGH BALANCE: An Introduction to Tibetan Medicine
by Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, ed. & trans. by Jeffrey Hopkins.
Tibetan medicine holistically restores and maintains balance of the body’s various systems through a variety of treatments including diet, behavior modification, and the use of medicine and accessory therapy. Tibetan medicine is delicately responsive to patients’ complete symptom patterns–no complaint being disregarded. Its wide variety of curative techniques are clearly explained.
“I think this book is the best work on Tibetan medicine ever to appear in English.”–Dr. Barry Clark
“Health Through Balance represents Dr. Donden’s masterful distillation of the thousand-year-old Tibetan medical tradition.”–East-West Journal
“An exciting and absorbing description–must reading.”–John Tigue, Explorations
Dr. Dhonden’s book was seen on Dateline NBC during a feature on Tibetan Medicine and Breast Cancer.
