On the one hand it must retain a sense of cultural authenticity and a connection to Tibetan Buddhism; on the other it must prove efficacious and safe according to biomedical standards. Recently, Tibetan medicine has found a place within the multibillion-dollar market for complementary, traditional, and herbal medicines as people around the world seek alternative paths to wellness. Healing Elements explores how Tibetan medicine circulates through diverse settings in Nepal, China, and beyond as commercial goods and gifts, and as target therapies and panacea for biophysical and psychosocial ills. Through an exploration of efficacy - what does it mean to say Tibetan medicine "works"? - this book illustrates a bio-politics of traditional medicine and the meaningful, if contested, translations of science and healing that occur across distinct social ecologies. 606 $aAsian Continental Ancestry Group - ethnology - Tibet 606 $aHolistic Health - Tibet 606 $aHolistic medicine - Tibet 606 $aMedicine, Tibetan - Tibet 606 $aMedicine, Tibetan Traditional - Tibet 606 $aMedicine, East Asian Traditional 606 $aCulture 606 $aHealth 606 $aPhilosophy, Medical 606 $aComplementary Therapies 606 $aContinental Population Groups 606 $aAnthropology, Cultural 606 $aMedicine, Traditional 606 $aPopulation Characteristics 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPopulation Groups 606 $aTherapeutics 606 $aHealth Care 606 $aHumanities 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aPersons 606 $aSocial Sciences 606 $aHolistic Health 606 $aAsian Continental Ancestry Group 606 $aMedicine, Tibetan Traditional 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAnthropology$2HILCC 606 $aMedicine$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aHistory of Medicine$2HILCC 606 $aSocial & Cultural Anthropology$2HILCC 607 $aChina 607 $aFar East 607 $aAsia 607 $aTibet 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aAsian Continental Ancestry Group - ethnology - Tibet. 615 4$aHolistic Health - Tibet. 615 4$aHolistic medicine - Tibet. 615 4$aMedicine, Tibetan - Tibet. 615 4$aMedicine, Tibetan Traditional - Tibet. 615 2$aMedicine, East Asian Traditional 615 2$aCulture 615 2$aHealth 615 2$aPhilosophy, Medical 615 2$aComplementary Therapies 615 2$aContinental Population Groups 615 2$aAnthropology, Cultural 615 2$aMedicine, Traditional 615 2$aPopulation Characteristics 615 2$aPhilosophy 615 2$aPopulation Groups 615 2$aTherapeutics 615 2$aHealth Care 615 2$aHumanities 615 2$aAnthropology 615 2$aPersons 615 2$aSocial Sciences 615 2$aHolistic Health 615 2$aAsian Continental Ancestry Group 615 2$aMedicine, Tibetan Traditional 615 2$aEthnology 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aMedicine 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aHistory of Medicine 615 7$aSocial & Cultural Anthropology 676 $a610.9515 700 $aCraig$b Sienna R.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0965725 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452569503321 996 $aHealing Elements$92456663 997 $aUNINA
