The Tibetan people's knowledge on preserving health is an important part of Tibetan medical culture. Most of the Tibetans live on the plateau where it is cold with decreased oxygen. They are devout Buddhists and they have developed a variety of healthy folk customs. These factors form the health culture of Tibetan medicine and demonstrate the plateau characteristics of health, psychology health and health customs. The health culture of Tibetan medicine has far-reaching influence because of the spread of Buddhism. Therefore it is worth exploring and carrying forward.
