Tibetan medicine: a unique heritage of person-centered medicine

“…While research has been conducted covering the ecology and botanical strengths of Tibetan regions [15,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], it is important to study more deeply into the pharmaceutical potentials of such materials. A large amount of research is centered around finding active constituents within specific Tibetan medical ingredients [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. This has benefit as it may lead to the development of revolutionary drugs.…”
