Traditional Tibetan medicine

Traditional Tibetan medicine or Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan: གསོ་བ་རིག་པ། (bod lugs) Gso ba rig pa) is the Tibetan medical system developed in the 8th century under King Trisong Detsen that incorporated the best international medical practices of that time. The medical treatise Giyud Shi, or the Four Tantras, was then originally composed and later edited in the 12th century.
