We invite you to a delightful and enriching evening exploring the benefits of the ancient art of Tibetan Medicine. Known as The Science of Healing, Tibetan medicine is a holistic system that has been practiced for thousands of years. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, it offers profound support for physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.
Our guest Tibetan Doctor (Menpa) Ngawang Tsering, is a graduate of the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Varanasi, specializing in Tibetan medicine and is a member of the Organization of Traditional Tibetan Medicine and Sciences of Canada. With over eight years of experience and thousands of patients treated, he brings deep expertise and compassionate care.
Menpa Tsering uses diagnostic techniques such as pulse and tongue analysis, to provide individualized care grounded in ancient medical wisdom. Do not miss this special opportunity!
