Four Medical Works

The major Tibetan medical works are Ju Xi (The Four Medical Works). The existing versions are not the original ones. The work covers an abundant array of contents, including the classification of diseases, physiology (the study of living things and their functioning parts), diagnosis and therapy, and prescriptions.

Many countries and areas in the world are studying Tibetan iatrology. The former Soviet Union Artists Publishing House published the Picture Album of Tibetan Medicines and regarded the book and The Four Medical Works as the most unique Tibetan medical works in the world.
