An Illustrated Guide to Health Cultivation with Tibetan Medicine is the English edition of the first popular science book in the field of Tibetan medical health preservation. Authored by Huang Fu-kai, a seasoned practitioner and professor of Tibetan medicine, this volume demystifies the ancient wisdom of Tibetan medicine for a global audience, exploring profound topics from the theory of nyepa (the three principles of 'Lung', 'Tripa', and 'Bekan') to practical, everyday health advice. Structured in nine comprehensive chapters, the book skillfully blends accessible explanations with hundreds of rare and vivid illustrations drawn from Tibetan Buddhist thangkas, medical charts (Mantang), and temple murals. The result is a richly visual and deeply informative guide that opens the door to the holistic and preventive health culture of the Himalayan plateau.

Fully illustrated with color plates, text in English.
