Tibetan medicine is very close to the basic philosophy of Buddhism. According to Buddhist concepts, the three physical energies, bile, mucus and gas control all body functions. The energies are closely related to the seven components of the body (food, blood, muscle, fat, bone, bone marrow and semen) and three secreted fluids (sweat, urine, feces). Health is about balance and harmony. Diseases are the result of a "spiritual ignorance", when the human being is perceived as an individual separate from his environment. The three "spiritual poison" (hatred, ignorance and greed) leads to an energy imbalance and health disorders. External factors such as diet, lifestyle and weather can also influence health. The goal of Tibetan medicine is to rebalance the body energy discordant. The recommendations for lifestyle and optimal nutrition are the first step in a Tibetan therapy. It also uses physical therapy procedures, such as massages, baths, bloodletting, moxibustion and acupuncture. Tibetan medicines are special mixtures containing substances, vegetable, mineral or animal, administered as a powder, tablet or juice.
