Klappentext zu „Healing Elements “
As an example of "alternative,""holistic," or non-Western approaches to health and wellness, Tibetan medicine confronts multiple and at times conflicting agendas. It must at once retain its sense of cultural authenticity and connection to Tibetan Buddhism, but also prove safe and effective according to global (read: Western) biomedical standards. Recently, Tibetan medicine has found its place on the multibillion dollar global health marketplace for traditional medicines, with people throughout the West and around the world seeking alternative paths to wellness. Craigs book explores how Tibetan medicine circulates through diverse social settings as commercial goods or gifts, how it is viewed as a therapeutic panacea for a variety of biophysical and psychosocial ills, and how it reflects broader trends in the bio-politics of traditional medicine in local and global arenas.
