Abstract:
Sowa-Rigpa is recognized and promoted as a traditional medical system by Government of India. Along with spread of Buddhism, Sowa-Rigpa also spread to other neighboring countries. It is interesting to note that Sowa-Rigpa shares similarity with the principles or philosophy of Ayurveda since most of the literature in SowaRigpa (approximately more than 75%) is adaptive from the most famous treatise of Ayurveda, i.e., AshtangaHridaya in one or other form. Many (more than 75%) of the commonly used herbs used in Ayurveda (Indian origin) viz., Triphala, Ashoka, Ashwagandha, Guggulu, Haridra etc. are

Abstract:
Sowa Rigpa institutions and practitioners have growing interest in examining and legitimizing Sowa Rigpa formulas vis-à-vis pharmacological research methods, seeking scientific validation of what they view as ‘potency’ and ‘purity’ for their formulas. Likewise, the pharmacology researchers have demonstrated renewed interest in herbal medical traditions in mining for new drugs to address resistance, toxicity, and optimize what they view as ‘potency’ and ‘purity.’ However, differing conceptualizations emerge when the pharmacological drug discovery process is examined to determine what is being a

Bhutanese Traditional Medicine, known as Sowa Rigpa, deeply rooted in the country’s cultural and religious heritage, plays a significant role in healthcare service delivery in Bhutan. This commentary explores the evolution and current landscape of Sowa Rigpa within the context of the nation’s healthcare system. While traditional medicine services have expanded over the years, challenges such as scepticism regarding scientific validity, inadequate infection control measures and concerns about the sustainability of medicinal plants persist.

Abstract This article examines the “mainstreaming” of Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine) into primary healthcare in Ladakh, Himalayan India. It explores fields largely overlooked by existing studies of medical integration, such as the social dynamics of public health facilities, the effects of limited drug supplies, and changes in medicine production. Although Sowa Rigpa practitioners experience aspects of their integration as positive, it is also forcing approaches toward prescription practice, patient care, and pharmaceutical production that are at odds with their clinical, social, ethical, and p

Abstract In this paper, I explore how both the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala, India, and the Bhutanese government utilized Buddhist leaders and religious practices to promote public health measures during the pandemic, considering that there was a high acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccination in these Buddhist communities. I also touch upon how classical Sowa Rigpa understandings of infectious disease transmission and prevention might have played a role in vaccination acceptance.

Abstract:
This thesis is an ethnography and situated history of Tibetan medical practitioners in Tsang and Shigatse Prefecture, Central Tibet. It analyses how as individuals and groups, Tibetan medical doctors – the so-called amchi – have adapted and transformed their medical practices and multiple traditions of the Tibetan Science of Healing, or Sowa Rigpa. The principal argument is that amchi in the area studied have, at times and in certain places, held considerable agency in processes of transforming their traditions. This is despite and because of the ongoing Communist reforms, campaigns and struct

Based on two six-month periods of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2011 and 2012, it examines common cultural understandings of mental illness and healing, and how these are reflected in health-seeking behaviour. To date, research on lay Tibetan perspectives of mental illness and their impact on health-seeking behaviour has been limited, especially in relation to the concept of smyo nad (‘madness’). Following

Abstract:
This chapter examines the ways in which changing patterns of materia medica circulation have shaped Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine) pharmacy, practice and social organization in Ladakh since the 1960s. It argues that rapid growth in the availability of formerly limited raw materials was key to the emergence of larger scales of drug production and to the proliferation, complexification and commodification of medicines. These phenomena, in turn, allowed for the emergence of professionalized forms of medical practice, the enfranchisement of certain groups, ideas and practices, and the marginalisation of others. By charting the shifting material, social, economic and pharmaceutical dimensions of Ladakhi Sowa Rigpa in relation to one another, the chapter questions the constitution and boundaries of ‘the medical realm’.
