App offers guide to Tibetan medical care

A mobile application providing information at no cost about Tibetan medicine in the Tibetan language has been updated recently. The project is part of an effort to provide online access to Tibetan medicine, which has a history of over 2,300 years.

The app includes the diagnosis and treatment of 128 diseases frequently encountered on the plateau and information on 300 kinds of Tibetan medicines.

By downloading the app, a user can get information on symptoms, therapy, prevention and medication contraindications by searching a keyword or looking for it in the alphabetical classification on the app.
