Product Description
When people are displaced, their social systems move with them. This book investigates what happens to traditional medical systems when they are uprooted , i.e. when practitioners and patients become displaced, by looking at the transformations of traditional Tibetan medicine among the Tibetan refugee community in India. It addresses how long-term displacement affects concepts of health and examines the success and efficacy of Tibetan medicine in the context of social upheaval.
