Sowa Rigpa is a holistic medicine practice originating in Tibet, with influences from Indian, Chinese, and Greek medicine. It places a great emphasis on mental, physical and environmental imbalance as the root causes of disease.
Sowa Rigpa can be translated as the knowledge of nourishment. We need to be nourished physically, |mentally, and socially. None of these are possible without our environment being nourished.
Treatment recommendations emphasize sustainable nourishing practices that remove obstacles to our health and happiness and include lifestyle and diet recommendations, internal and external therapies, and herbal medicine.
