In this way he assesses a great deal of information about the patient's condition, detects any imbalances in the body’s energies, and determines an effective treatment.

Treatment

As a result, Tibetan physicians always offer specific, individualized suggestions on how to improve one’s health by diet and lifestyle modification. The treatment also consists of recommending Tibetan herbal pills and herbal teas, and physical therapies including cupping, Tibetan Yoga, meditation, medicinal bath, moxibustion and Tibetan Kum-Nye massage.

Dietary and Behavioral modification are part of the treatment. You might be advised to drink a lot of green tea or to eat steamed and cooked food, or not to indulge in fasting and alcohol or raw food. Additionally, Tibetan Yoga, breathing exercise, listening music, meditation and walking in the nature are also used for the maintenance of optimal health.
