All of us want to be happy and avoid suffering. So why are many of us anxious, angry, depressed? We suffer from pain, hypertension, inflammation, indigestion, insomnia, and addictions. Yet, too often we make choices that sabotage us rather than reverse what’s wrong. Tibetan medicine, Tibet’s ancient, comprehensive science of healing, offers effective tools for transforming suffering into health and happiness.
Tibetan medicine teaches that the purpose of life is to be happy, and that after our basic needs are met, happiness results primarily from our own thinking. When challenges arise, we can wallow in negativity and get sick - or even sicker - in mind and body. Or we can decide to create health and happiness. Making positive choices won’t solve every problem but will produce better results than poor or thoughtless decisions do.
This unique book explains in everyday English how to use Tibetan medicine for self-care and as a complement to modern medicine. Tibetan medicine sheds light on the intricate relationship between mind and body. Each of us is born with a unique combination of energies called our constitution. Understanding our constitution empowers us to make conscious, informed decisions about our thoughts, diet, and behavior to keep our energies in balance. We learn to reduce stress, create health, prepare for death, and be happy.

As a complete guide to Health and Happiness based on Ancient knowledge of Sowa Rigpa, (Tibetan medicine), the authors carefully presented the integrity of Tibetan medicine as complement to modern medicine and conventional way of life.
Tsewang Tamdin, Visiting Physician to H.H the Dalai Lama, Chief Medical Officer, (Men-Tsee-Khang ) Dharamsala.
This book is an excellent presentation of the complexity of Tibetan Medicine in a simple yet thorough format the western mind can understand. The authors describe Tibetan Medicine as a truly integrative system that weaves together body, mind & spiritual aspects to balance a being’s healthful energies. Just as the mind can create suffering and disease, Buddhist practice and meditation is included to help decrease human suffering through understanding. This emphasis on the whole person brings new relevance of this book to Karma & Dharma practice. Highly recommended reading to Tibetan Medicine patients, students and healthcare professionals.

Cameron and Namdul understand that Tibetan medicine and Western medicine are all too often seen as competing paths to physical and emotional healing. They present a thorough and accessible summary of what ancient Tibetan medicine excels at as well as what Western medicine does best. Their hope in their collaboration is that both disciplines can get past entrenched biases, understand that neither approach need be in conflict but can complement one another for the betterment of us all.
