Diagnosis: Insomnia

If recurrent sleeplessness is something you suffer from, you may wish to hear what the Tibetan medical tradition prescribes. The medical Tantras specify particular rules pertaining to sleep. In spring a short period of sleep after lunch helps avoid Wind disorders. In autumn, winter or summer sleep during the daytime increases sluggishness, the mind will become heavy, with a tendency to develop headaches, colds and contagious fevers. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out this questionnaire.

Dr. Anasurya Weil will diagnose three volunteers on stage to give attendees a real sense of the process by which Tibetan doctors analyze their patients’ condition, and the recommendations they make to improve balance in their lives.
