Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the socio-cultural and anthropological aspects of Tibetan medicine in contemporary Russia and investigates how Tibetan medicine is practised, consumed and represented in two major Russian cities, Moscow and St Petersburg. It is the first case-study of such kind in the context of Russian culture, as the anthropological aspects of Tibetan medicine in contemporary Russia have not yet been the subject of a systematic research. Up till now, scholarly publications on Tibetan medicine in Russia have dealt either with the translation and textual analysis of ancient Tibetan medic

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

Abstract:

Among all the disciplines in which local medicine and spirituality are still intricately entangled, there exists one, namely Tibetan medicine. These medical knowledge and practices are also known as Sowa Rigpa gso ba rig pa, which can literally translate to the “science of healing” or the “Tibetan knowledge of the field of healing”. It is based on two essential elements: local medicine and Buddhism. These two coexist together and are both pivotal to treating the patient’s imbalance or illness. Inspired by Tibetan medical tradition, this thesis proposes research on some aspects concerning the c

Abstract:

The Tibetan practice of bcud len, or 'extracting the essence', has been for long a neglected aspect of Tibetan medical and spiritual knowledge with scattered evidence and little certainty regarding its origins or the extent of its effective presence, either in the past or at currently. In this study, seventy-three texts have been identified and tabulated. Of these, sixty-seven have been summarised and commented on, and five of these, each representative of one type of the practice, have been translated in full. All but a handful of these texts have not been translated previously. The research

Abstract:

By undertaking a number of different experimental approaches at the genetic, cellular/ molecular and integrative physiology levels, I investigated functional variation in the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) transcription pathway in humans. My studies focused on Tibetan natives. Tibetan highlanders are adapted to life in a hypoxic environment and exhibit distinct physiological traits at high altitude. Recent studies identified positive selection at two genetic loci, EPAS1 (HIF2α) and EGLN1 (PHD2), in Tibetan highlanders and demonstrated an association of EGLN1/EPAS1 genotype with haemoglobin con

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the predicaments of exile among Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala. It examines the ways in which structural and cultural factors linked to exile underpin local understandings of health and the provision of healthcare. The study demonstrates that exile uncertainty is reflected in illness explanatory models put forward by Tibetan refugees, and in the organisation of healthcare provision in Dharamsala. The first part of the thesis. (Chapters 2-3) is an account of changes in social organisation and economic strategies as a consequence of exile. Chapter 2 looks at transformin

Abstract:

This doctoral dissertation forges and explores connections, flows and frictions between two seemingly unrelated manufacturers of Tibetan medicines: Men-Tsee-Khang, the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute in Dharamsala (Himachal Pradesh, India), and PADMA AG in Wetzikon (Zürich, Switzerland). Adopting a translocal, multispecies approach by positioning plant-medicines as the central actors in this ethnography, I trace how four plants - aru, ruta, tserngön and bongnak - become part of medicine in and between these two establishments of Sowa Rigpa of similar age and output volume, situated

This dissertation explores entanglements of body, national identity and nature in contemporary Mongolia. The project is situated within the rising popularity of natural remedies and alternative medicine during a time described as disorganized (zambaraagui) and disorderly. Data was collected from 33 months of fieldwork in Ulaanbaatar and elsewhere, focused on non-biomedical practices and therapeutic landscapes, especially medicinal springs (arshaan) and their sanatoria. This work contributes to studies of post-socialist Mongolia in a few ways. The methodological decision to engage in interview

Abstract:

Representing the first comprehensive study of Tibetan medical institutions, this dissertation argues that medicine played a crucial role in the development of Tibetan Buddhism outside of Tibet during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), while Tibetan Buddhism played a vital role in the governance of the northern and western borderlands of the Qing Empire. During the same period remembered today for the rise of science along mercantile-colonialist sea routes, an inland network of Tibetan Buddhist monastic medical colleges (gso rig or sman pa grwa tshang) proliferated in tandem with the expansion of th

Halenia elliptica D. Don belongs to Gentianaceae family. It is often used as part of a traditional Tibetan medicine to treat hepatitis. In the present investigation, six major xanthone components were isolated and identified from Halenia elliptica. An HPLC/DAD/APCI/MS method was developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of these xanthones, including 1-hydroxy-2,3,5-trimethoxy-xanthone (HM-1), 1-hydroxy-2,3,4,7-tetramethoxy- xanthone (HM-2), 1-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetramethoxy-xanthone (HM-3), 1,7- dihydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetramethoxy-xanthone (HM-4), 1,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethoxy-xanthone (

They have been developed following distinct aspects of life that are impressed by different natural and social environments. It is hard to compare their medical knowledge by quantitative analysis because many of their medical classics are full of the descriptions of quite abstractive concepts or functions. For example, yin-yang concept, five xing (metal、wood、water、fire、earth), and six qi (wind、cold、hotness、dampness、dryness、fire) are common terms frequently used in Chinese medic
