Mail/Distant Consultation

Men-Tsee-Khang does not encourage the use of mail/Distant consultation for those who have access to a Tibetan doctor graduated from MenTsee-Khang. Therefore, we would recommend patients seek help directly from a properly trained medical doctor who uses the traditional Tibetan diagnostic procedures like reading the patient’s pulse, urine analysis and interrogations.

Owing to numerous suggestions and input received over the years from patients who hold strong trust and belief in our medical system and insist that this system remains the last hope of their recovery, we feel the necessity and responsibility to provide a mail/distant consultation facility to fulfill their wishes. It is very necessary to provide us with the following information: Your name (in capital), Gender, Age, Clear Address, Email ID, Case History and treatments.

As and when the above information is received, senior doctors will review the personal case. Thereafter, a reply will be sent to the individual patient informing the recommendations of the physician. If pills are prescribed then remedies will be sent after the receipt of the payment through the postal system either by Registered parcel, Courier, Speed Post or what ever kind of post facility are applicable to that particular region or country.

We celebrate 100 years of establishing Men-TseeKhang by the Great 13th Dalai Lama in Lhasa, Tibet, 55 years of re-establishing Men-Tsee-Khang by the Great 14th Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, and 320 years of establishing the Chagpori Medical College in Lhasa, Tibet by the Great 5th Dalai Lama.

Starting from Wednesday, March 23, 2016, we will have several outreach and commemorative events, both in India and outside.

To solicit active participation from all our students, wagers and staff, we appealed to our students to work 100 hours each without pay in our Pharmacy Department or Herbal Research and Production Department.

We appealed to our staff and wagers to contribute 100 hours’ pay for the Men-Tsee-Khang’s Centenary Celebration. So far, they have contributed over 5.1 million Rupees, for which we thank very much, and more are coming in.

Also, our well wishers in India, and abroad, mostly patients, are sending in donations. No doubt, our outreach programs, especially those in foreign countries, will entail huge expenses.
