Tibetan Medicine is one of the world’s oldest known traditional medicine and has been practiced for more than four thousand years in Tibet and the Himalayan region. The major objective of Tibetan Medicine is achieving and sustaining a healthy constitution through balance as a comprehensive preventative approach,by providing treatment practices for sick people,​aiding in longevity, and helping those who seek success in their physical body, emotional and spiritual fields.

The foundation of Tibetan medicine is that the body, disease, and treatment, all share common principles and are comprised of the five elements, earth, fire, water, air, and space. It recognizes that everything in the universe—plants, animals, and human beings including all our body tissues, internal organs, skin, skeletal system and even emotions—is comprised of these five elements.Each element plays a major role, both individually and in combination as aspects of all matter
