Menpa Sonam Pelmo - "Significance of Tibetan Medicine for Modern Healthcare"

When we talk about modern healthcare, it is vital to address what WHO has stated: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” In this regard, Tibetan Medicine (TM) has huge potential to serve humanity not merely with physical but also mental healthcare. The rise in numbers of people suffering from mental illnesses are alarming and taking a toll on many nations. This talk will introduce the TM in brief and will discuss the TM perspective on Mental health. The immense loss of life and wealth due to the global pandemic is still fresh in our memories. The so-called modern healthcare system (dominated by allopathic medicine) has failed in the face of the Covid19 virus. The virus being new and easily contagious among humans, together with the lack of proper hospital resources, led to large-scale crises. It is high time to look at other medical systems which some call alternative medicine—a term I strongly disagree with. Being a TM professional, I will put forth facts to demonstrate that TM is s complete, holistic medical system. I will then discuss that for mental illnesses in particular, TM can effectively fill the gap left by the modern healthcare system. In concluding remarks, I will relate some of the traits of TM and its significance in modern healthcare.
