Herbs are the raw materials of Tibetan medicine and there is a very long-standing tradition in the use, the proper time of collection, the ways to prepare, and the assessment of the herbs in this ancient system of healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tibetan amchis and pharmacists evaluate each individual plant because not all specimens of a certain medicinal herb have the same quality and power. Depending on that assessment, larger or smaller quantities of plants are needed to get the desired result. All medicines are a composition of many specific herbs and substitutions are not easily made.
