Summary: next time, stay a little longer before writing the book
Comment: this book is a little bit "silly" in the sense that the western impressions of cities like Kathmandu and Darjeeling are so over-dramatic it is hard to take seriously. the author surely went through a great deal of culture shock, as many westerners do on their first visit to Nepal and India. however, I get the sense that this author wasn't in these areas long enough to truly gain a practical understanding of the East and Tibetan medicine. he made this very detailed and thorough medical approach appear a bit "chinsy"...
I would say this is not a very good way to learn about Tibetan Medicine or South Asia

Summary: Diagnosis: Health
Comment: TIBETAN HEALING pulls in body, mind and spirit: a stable and well-balanced mind in an exceptionally physically well body. Some healing practices are only known and done by folk healers, lamas, and shamans. Nevertheless, Tibetan doctors are historically respected as the all-around best of the healers. They know and practice the most powerful medicine, which is in the Buddha's teachings: disease is caused by actions from past lives, inappropriate behavior, mind poisons, seasonal changes, and unwholesome diet; and good health is defined as a compassionately wise state of mind freed from the poisons of attachment, aversion, and ignorance. Tibetan healing diagnoses low or high amounts of the five universal elements of air, earth, fire, space and water: the human system bounces back into balance with the doctor prescribing a compound from animals, minerals, plants, precious gems, and waters. I find just about all things Tibetan to be incredibly complex and complicated at the same time that they also seem so amazingly simple: Peter Fenton's book and David Crow's IN SEARCH OF THE MEDICINE BUDDHA are both beautiful helps and fascinating reads.
