In 1961, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama re-established the MenHealthcare
Tsee-Khang in Dharamsala, India. This medical college educates posthigh-school students during a six-year intensive program to become a
doctor of Tibetan medicine. After graduating, the new doctors work
under the supervision of senior doctors. You can learn more about the
history and practices of Tibetan medicine in a book published by the Men-Tsee-Khang listed in the
Where Can I Get More Information? section (Fundamentals of Tibetan Medicine, 2009).
treating imbalance as the first step toward healing and health. Dis-ease or imbalance can be present well
before physical symptoms appear or before symptoms are so severe that you seek attention from a
conventional health professional.
Treating illness requires correcting the underlying imbalance.
So the goals of treating dis-ease are not about covering up a symptom or reacting to a single
abnormality. Instead, each symptom and sign of dysfunction sheds light on the overall pattern of
imbalance. Healing negative thinking and making healthy lifestyle choices can restore balance in your
body and mind.
Wellbeing is a lifelong process of living in harmony with your unique nature or constitution.
Tibetan medicine teaches that all living beings are made up of energy. You were born with a unique
nature or constitution consisting of three primary energies: loong, tripa, and baekan. Loong is movement
energy. Tripa is hot energy. Baekan is cold energy. Tibetan medicine is the art and science of keeping
your primary energies in balance with your constitution in order to promote your health and happiness.
Your unique constitution has both strengths and weaknesses. By learning about your constitution, you
can enhance your strengths and turn your weaknesses into assets, or at least keep them from
sabotaging you.
