Manual of Common Illnesses and Their Cures is a facsimile of a rare Tibetan medical text, first printed in 1990 to support the healing work of young amchi in Ladakh. A concise and highly practical guidebook, it covers the diagnosis and treatment of more than eighty diseases and presents more than two hundred formula names, also giving special attention to high altitude disorders and pediatrics based on the author’s extensive clinical experience. An emphasis on self-sufficiency and small herbal remedies ensures that these precious pith instructions continue to be relevant for traditional physicians and therapists in the Himalayan and Tibetan regions as well as for Sowa Rigpa health professionals worldwide.
