'This is possibly the best book I have read for a long, long time. For thousands of years Tibetan Healing has been known all over the world. The writer has used his knowledge of Tibetan medicine in a very constructive way. He has the great gift of putting together how Tibetan medicine can be applied in our day and age. He has integrated a lot of the practices, which for the human suffering can be of great benefit, by applying some of these very trusted methods. The book could have a place in every household and is a joy to read.'
Professor Jan de Vries

Over the last 40 years, a series of amazing healings due to Tibetan medicine have come to our attention. I am exceedingly glad that the methods and views of this beneficial art will now come into many hands through "The Book of Tibetan Medicine".
Lama Ole Nydahl Diamond Way

"This is a most excellent book, extremely informative on an important and esoteric field of knowledge. The four medical tantras of Tibetan Medicine contain profound secrets of healing, especially for the mind. The Tibetan Medical system is an integrative one that has been successfully followed to heal people and promote wellbeing since the eighth century. I hope The Book of Tibetan Medicine will begin a dialogue world-wide, especially in psychiatric medical circles, on the nature of mind and consciousness, and how they should be understood and treated, with the aim of increasing health, compassion and well-being."
Lady Neidpath of The Beckley Foundation
