Tibetan Doctor

Should you wish to see a Tibetan Doctor in Delhi, this is what I wrote the last time I went there. In my experience Tibetan Medicine is usually gentle and typically addresses issues which are not well-addressed by Western Medicine, including kidney stones, mental imbalances and the common cold. Typically taken 2-3 times a day, it comes in the form of small pills comprised of rolled herbs and other substances. Chew or crush pills and take with hot water.

We met the loveliest Tibetan doctor in Manjukatilla. Or however you spell it. His name is Dr. Nyima Tsering Lhunkhang (e-mail dor_la@yahoo.com). I will have to tell the story later, but suffice it to say he appeared as the most gentle and caring doctor I have ever met.
