“Here is a general statement about Tibetan medicine: Human physiology is spoken of in terms of the three humors – wind, bile, and phlegm. Where do disturbances originate? Wind, bile, and phlegm imbalances occur respectively from the ‘three poisons,’ or primary mental afflictions: namely, attachment, anger, and ignorance.” –The Dalai Lama
When we foster curiosity, in ourselves and in others, then we move beyond ignorance. Tibetan medicine understands how our ‘mental afflictions’ can affect us. At least we have tools for dealing with those ‘three poisons’! —Rosemary
