Traditional Tibetan medicine
Tibetan medicine is a centuries-old traditional medical system that employs a complex approach to diagnosis, incorporating techniques such as pulse analysis and urinalysis, and utilizes behavior and dietary modification, medicines composed of natural materials (e.g., herbs and minerals) and physical therapies (e.g. Tibetan acupuncture, moxabustion, etc.) to treat illness.

Tibetan medicine (Amchi, Emchi)
A largely allopathic system that stems from Ayurveda, Bon (see "Bon shamanic practices"), Chinese medicine, and Unani. Tibetan medicine encompasses acupuncture and moxibustion and purportedly heals both the physical and the psychic "being." Its theory posits reincarnation, evil spirits, tutelary gods, and three physiological principles ("bodily energies"): "wind," "bile" ("gall"), and "phlegm." According to Tibetan medical theory, karma strongly influences 101 disorders caused by afflictive emotions (e.g., desire or hatred); another 101 disorders caused by such emotions involve spirits (harmful "unseen forces"); and it is appropriate to expose certain medical substances to the light of the full moon. The terms "Tibetan medicine" and "Tibetan Buddhist Medicine" appear synonymous.
