How to Find Tibetan Herbal Medicine

Introduction

Tibetan herbal medicine is cherished due to its long-lasting effects. Due to the popularity of Tibetan herbal medicine, the demand exceeds the supply. Many Tibetan herbal suppliers will only supply patients being treated by doctors aligned with designated Tibetan medical schools. However, Tibetan medical doctors have discovered many substitutions for traditional herbs that are readily available in the regions in which they practice. Tibetan herbal remedies are inexpensive and are used to treat illness and signs of aging.
