About This Book

The Tibetan Art of Healing is a rare and remarkable window into one of the world's oldest and most sophisticated healing traditions. Written under the pen name Theodore Burang by the enigmatic explorer and esotericist Theodore Illion — one of the few Westerners to have travelled secretly through Tibet in the 1930s — this slim but profound volume presents the principles of Tibetan medicine with both scholarly rigour and deep spiritual reverence. Covering the philosophical foundations of Tibetan healing, the role of the physician, the relationship between body, mind, and spirit, and the use of traditional remedies, this is a text that bridges East and West with rare authority. The bilingual English and German text, printed in Switzerland and published by the legendary Watkins of London, makes this a truly distinctive and collectible edition.

Why This Book Is Perfect For You

A treasure for the serious collector and the sincere seeker alike.
