especially to the reproduction of Tibetan ethnic group. In
addition, it has also formed a complete theoretical system

medicinal herbs, as well as prescription and preparation of
herbal medicines. The Central Government has always paid
great attention to TTM and encouraged its further
development and improvement. Famous ancient medical works
such as Tibetan Medical Code and Four-Volume Medical Code
have been collated, translated and published. A number of
TTM monographs have also been published, including A New
Compendium of Tibetan Medicinal Herbs and A New Compendium
of Tibetan Medicine. |
