[Explanation] Luqu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, is located at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces. It is a pure animal husbandry county. The county has a population of more than 30,000, of which Tibetans account for more than 80%. The local Tibetan hospital is protecting Tibetans. It plays a big role in people’s health.
A few days ago, the deputy dean of Luqu County Tibetan Hospital in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province took care of it and introduced in its exhibition hall that Tibetan medicine has a history of nearly three thousand years, but many Han people do not know Tibetan medicine well. About 95% of the people who come to visit are Tibetans. Similar to the "seeing, smelling, asking, and cutting" of traditional Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine also has the process of "seeing and asking".
Tibetan medicine believes that different diseases occur in different seasons, and different medicinal materials should be picked in different seasons.
With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, he adheres to the diagnosis and treatment method that combines the unique advantages of Chinese and Tibetan medicine.
He believes that it is usually necessary to choose a special time for seeing a doctor or treatment, which may be one of the differences between Tibetan medicine and Chinese medicine.
Many Tibetan medicines are grown in plateau areas, and some come from animals or even minerals.
Unique Tibetan medical treatment methods such as bloodletting, rubbing, and golden needles have added a bit of mystery to Tibetan medicine.
[Simultaneous] The Deputy Dean of Luqu County Tibetan Hospital, Gannan Prefecture, Gansu Province, looked after and added
I’m Kanshijia, and I’m the provincial non-genetic inheritor of Gannan Tibetan Medicine, a national intangible cultural heritage. During my 30 years of work, I have (mainly) promoted Tibetan medicine culture and the development of Tibetan medicine. , And the inheritance of Tibetan medicine culture and its technology.
Tibetan medicine is the wisdom extracted from the lives of our Tibetan people. In addition, the people around us have some of the essence of traditional medicine, as well as the special scientific nature of our western medicine.
Our Tibetan medicine, Chinese medicine, and Western medicine are combined together, and there are some unique therapeutic effects in clinical treatment.
[Explanation] In 2008, "Gannan Tibetan Medicine" was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list, and Luqu County Tibetan Hospital became the only protection unit of the project.
The Tibetan people who have lived on the plateau for generations have formed a unique Tibetan medicine system in the struggle against nature and various diseases.
[Simultaneous] The Deputy Dean of Luqu County Tibetan Hospital, Gannan Prefecture, Gansu Province, looked after and added
According to the records of the "Sibu Medical Classics" of Tibetan medicine, there are many kinds of surgical instruments used by Tibetan medicine, and many techniques have been lost. However, its instruments are still there, and we are also in the process of further inheritance and excavation in some treatments.
[Explanation] At the same time of work, Jianzhaojia insists on in-depth study of professional knowledge.
He has been to Air Force Lanzhou Hospital and Gansu Cancer Hospital for advanced studies many times, and has successively published more than 20 professional papers. On the basis of earnestly studying and summing up previous experiences, he has continued to make breakthroughs in research and wrote many books.
He has participated in many academic seminars on the characteristic therapies of folk traditional medicine, put forward many points of view, and made contributions to promoting the development of Tibetan medicine in Gannan.
[Simultaneous] The Deputy Dean of Luqu County Tibetan Hospital, Gannan Prefecture, Gansu Province, looked after and added
The most common disease in our plateau is high blood pressure. These ordinary people take antihypertensive drugs. Antihypertensive drugs are mainly for temporary antihypertensive. After we adjust the patient's psychology, we will perform bloodletting therapy once a year to reduce blood pressure. The medicine doesn’t need to be taken, and this can be controlled for one year.
[Explanation] Of course, the popularization and development of the Internet has also promoted the spread of Tibetan medicine, but Ganzhaojia still hopes that through his own efforts, Tibetan medicine will be understood and accepted by more and more people.
Therefore, since 2004, he has been teaching hand-in-hand, training more Tibetan medicine doctors by going to the countryside to teach on behalf of teachers, and through the exchanges of central hospitals in many places to open Tibetan medicine treatment departments. The 35-year-old Ka Lao is one of them. .
Jia Lao has worked in a township hospital. In 2016, he went to Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a master's student for further study, and studied the comparative study of acupuncture points in Chinese and Tibetan medicine.

TCM acupuncture points are the same as the Terma acupoints of our Tibetan medicine. Some acupuncture points are just one point and the curative effect is the same. Some acupuncture points are different and the curative effect is also different. Traditional Chinese medicine and Tibetan medicine have similarities.
[Explanation] Ka Lao hopes that through his own efforts, the knowledge of Tibetan medicine can be passed on, and with the aid of the now mature system of traditional Chinese medicine, the integration of Chinese and Tibetan medicine will promote the popularization of Tibetan medicine and serve human health.
