Diqing Tibetan Medicine

　　Diqing Tibetan medicine boasts a long history and exquisite craftsmanship, making an immortal contribution to the health of people living on the plateau. The Tibetan medical industry has received tremendous care from the Party and the government since liberation, achieving remarkable progress. Generations of Tibetan medical professionals have continued to grow, with many renowned doctors emerging and contributing to the promotion of Tibetan medicine. The Diqing Tibetan Hospital is led by the eminent lama Ruo·Chu Chen Jiangchu, and many precious Tibetan medicines are now produced in-house. We would like to introduce several well-known types of Tibetan medicine. Seventy-Ingredient Pearl Pill is made from more than 70 valuable ingredients including pearls, saffron, and bezoar. Its functions include calming the nerves, promoting circulation and unblocking meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, and refreshing the mind and opening the orifices. It is mainly used to treat stroke paralysis, hemiplegia, cerebral hemorrhage, epilepsy, concussion, heart disease, hypertension, and other conditions. Twenty-Five-Ingredient Pearl Pill consists of 25 precious ingredients such as pearls and saffron. It is used to treat blood pressure imbalance, mental confusion, lower abdominal distension and pain, constipation, and various neurological disorders. Both types of Pearl Pills should be taken by soaking in boiling water, and acidic, cold, or alcoholic foods should be avoided during the medication period.
