Introduction to Tibetan medicine (Tibetan medicine processing technology)

Applicant: Tibet Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region

Tibetan medicine is an important part of Chinese traditional medicine and an important representative of Chinese national medicine.

Tibetan medicine has a long history. It is the medical experience accumulated by Tibetan people in the special environment of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Its classic work "four medical classics" was written in the Tubo Dynasty in the second half of the 8th century. It was written by the famous Tibetan medicine expert Yutuo Gongbu on New Year's day. The combination of Tibetan medicine and Tibetan astronomy and calendar is a huge and complex medical system. Tibetan medicine is based on the theory of "water, fire, earth, wind and air" and the theory of "dragon, Chiba and Bacon". It takes the plants, animals, minerals and some "Southern medicine" of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau as the basic medicine, and adopts the practice mode of adapting to the plateau environment and nomadic life, It has a unique curative effect on common diseases, frequently occurring diseases and endemic diseases in high altitude hypoxia environment, and its health culture has been paid more and more attention by the medical community.

Due to the vast territory of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, high mountains and steep waters, the ethnic and regional characteristics of Tibetan medicine culture are obvious, and the diagnosis, medical technology and medicine of Tibetan medicine are often different in different regions and schools. In recent decades, with the construction of Tibetan medicine and the extensive development of academic exchanges, the inheritance and promotion of Tibetan medicine have made remarkable achievements.

Tibetan medicine processing is a pharmaceutical technology which is based on the theory of Tibetan medicine, according to the needs of medicine, the nature of medicine and the different requirements of dispensing and preparation.

Tibetan medicine processing is a unique traditional pharmaceutical technology based on Tibetan medicine theory. This unique technology in Tibet has greatly improved the utilization efficiency of Tibetan medicinal materials. The vast majority of Tibetan medicine can not be used raw, must be processed before it can be used in clinical. To process medicinal materials, the first is to remove impurities and non medicinal parts; the second is to eliminate or reduce the toxicity, intensity or side effects of drugs; the third is to change the performance of drugs to meet clinical needs; the fourth is to facilitate preparation and storage.

Tibetan medicine processing includes three major processes: purification, cutting and processing. Different specifications of pieces have different processing technology. Some pieces need to be steamed, fried, calcined and other high-temperature treatment. Some pieces also need to add special accessories such as wine, vinegar, salt, milk, medicinal juice and then high-temperature treatment. Finally, all specifications of pieces can reach the required purity, thickness and safe and effective quality standards .

It is not only used in Tibetan medicine decoction, but also the technical basis for the production of Tibetan medicine. It is of great significance to rescue and protect this traditional medicine processing method.
