Traditional Tibetan Medicine in Tsawwassen, Delta
Traditional Tibetan medicine is one of the world's oldest systems of care, and it is now available close to home at The Village Clinic. If you are curious about a gentler, whole-person way to understand your health, this page is a good place to start. Below you will find what the tradition is, who you will meet, where our patients come from, and answers to the questions people ask most.
What Is Traditional Tibetan Medicine?
A healing system with roots in the Himalayas
Traditional Tibetan medicine developed over more than a thousand years on the Tibetan plateau. It draws on its own diagnostic methods and has exchanged ideas with Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions over the centuries. It is taught through long apprenticeships, and practitioners are trained to look at the whole person rather than a single symptom.
The three principles of balance
The tradition describes health through three regulating principles, often called wind, bile and phlegm. Each is linked with different functions, such as movement and the nervous system, digestion and metabolism, and rest and structure. In this view, symptoms are signs that these principles have drifted out of balance for you personally. Care aims to support that balance through food, daily habits, herbs and hands-on work.
How it fits with Western care
Traditional Tibetan medicine is not a replacement for your family doctor or specialist. Many people use it alongside conventional care, and as a collaborative clinic we can coordinate with your other practitioners here when you give us permission.
