Disharmony of energies in Tibetan medicine is seen as an imbalance
of different ‘winds’ (Ch’I in Chinese, r’Lung
in Tibetan, Vata in Indian Ayurveda.
Medicinal herbs picked at high altitude in the Himalayas are mixed
with water to make a paste and rolled into stick forms. The resulting
mixtures are known for their effect on the spiritual plane like
white sandalwood and agarwood, whereas others are more typically
Tibetan like the blue Lotus of the Himalayas, Aquiliaria, Asafoetida,
Rhodedendron, Chrysanthenum and Juniper. They can equally be mixed
with a little apricot or nut oil and massaged onto points of tension.
