Visual examination
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone! 🙏🙏🙏
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important work and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.
Thank you for helping us keep this Dharma project alive and available to everyone.

Visual examination consists of two principal aspects: Urine sample observation which involves analyzing the sediments, bubbles, color, scum etc in the morning urine sample. Tibetan physicians learn about internal disorders through identifying particles and nature of the urine.
They treat it like a mirror which reflects a clear picture of hot and cold nature of the disorder.
In the result, they can prescribe correct medicine for the prevailing disorder.Tongue observation. Each of the three humours has a different effect on the patient's tongue which can be visually detected by the physician.
Additional information is gathered through observation of general behaviour, body language and functions of the five senses of the patient in order to note any imbalances of the internal organs.
