'Tibetan medicine in the contemporary world is an excellent compendium which, offering a variety of approaches, has been able to present a lucid picture of the non-homogeneous nature of the Tibetan medical system in the contemporary world. It will be read with great interest by students and researchers in the fields of medical anthropology and Tibetan studies alike.' - Alicja Rucinska - Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (N.S.) 15, 409-455'The collection is a major contribution to the growing body of literature on the impact of globalisation on ‘indigenous’ medicines of Asia. Many of the issues it raises as well as the conceptual value of ‘neo-traditionalism’ are not limited to Tibetan medicine alone. Scholars working on ‘indigenous’ healing traditions, particularly in Asia, but also beyond, will find in this collection much to which they can relate and from which they can learn.' - Projit Bihari Mukharji, McMaster University - Social History of Medicine 2009
