Dictionary of Tibetan Materia Medica is the first diictionary of its kind. All the entries are arranged in Tibetan alphabetical order which will enablethe readers to find the names of medicinal ingredients easily. In this English version the translator and editor, Dr. Yonten Gyatso, has given Latin names of almost all the medicines. Most of the materials are compliled from Sel gon sel phrem, the most famous text on Tibetan pharmacopoeia, and from Rin chen khruns dpe, one of the oldest and most reliable texts.
