Different colors represent different diseases, or different functions in the body. In Tibetan medicine, there are three main contents, that is, we usually talk about "three genes" (also known as "three causes"), and the "three genetics" are Long, Chipa, and Bacon. So let's look at this tree, the blue, black is a manifestation of the long, then the yellowish one is the red (performance), and then the white is the bacon (performance), which is the three major substances, or a different expression of the three genes.
【Explanation】In the tree of diagnosis of Tibetan medicine's "tree metaphor", the three major diagnostic methods of disease are vividly depicted: sighting, palpation and interrogation. The healing tree is divided into four trunks that depict the basic contents of diet, behavior, medication, and external therapy.

This is the tree metaphor diagram of therapeutics in the tree metaphor of Tibetan medicine. Then Tibetan medicine believes that the (content) of Tibetan medicine is mainly four major plates, the first is to do some conditioning through diet, which is a tree trunk of diet; Then the other is through living behavior (therapy), then the third is medication (therapy), and then finally some external treatment and surgery. Tibetan medicine believes that as long as you do not take medicine or surgery (if) you are sick, and start with this diet and daily life, which is a treatment method or a principle of treatment in Tibetan medicine.
According to Luobu Dunzhu, in the "tree metaphor" diagram of Tibetan medicine, the two main purposes of studying Tibetan medicine are drawn, that is, to cure diseases, save people and live a long and healthy life. Among the ways and means of treating diseases and saving people, Tibetan medicine advocates four major therapies: diet, living, medicine, and external treatment. For health and longevity, Tibetan medicine advocates staying away from the causes, and at the same time, through health care, mental hygiene and other methods, the three major factors of long, chiba and bacon present in the human body are balanced, so as to achieve the purpose of health and longevity.
