In Tibetan Buddhism, we know that everything is impermanent. Beauty fades. We age. No one can stop that.

Our health is vibrant one day, and then we can have a disease.
Or maybe we've been struggling with a health condition and one day we recover.

This applies to all kinds of imbalances, including the health of our skin.

Skin is beautiful just the way it is, yet if you experience discomfort, pain, or irritation, it can affect the quality of life and distract from important activities.

Understanding impermanence is not to fall into despair, but to be fully present in the moment and do everything we can to maintain our health so we can use this precious life for something useful.

Join our special workshop this Saturday, June 13, where Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo will share the Tibetan Medicine view on skin health and give advice on how to naturally care for your skin.

Skin is considered to be the largest organ in the body, and in Tibetan Medicine, it is connected with the fire element (མཁྲིས་པ mKhris pa). It protects us, regulates body temperature, and is responsible for the sense of touch.

The condition of the skin reflects our internal health, but it is also connected with our appearance and “inner glow,” and therefore self-esteem.

Join our special workshop on June 13, where Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo will share the Tibetan Medicine view on skin health and give advice on how to care for your skin naturally, internally and externally.

In this workshop, you will learn:
-how skin health is connected with digestion and why it is important
-how emotional disbalance affects the skin
-specific diet & lifestyle recommendations for healthy skin & particular skin conditions

According to Tibetan Medicine, insomnia is often associated with the access of the wind element.

Especially if you wake up the most in the second part of the night.

How are emotions connected with elements?

Increased wind can bring anxiety, irritation, and the sense of ungroundedness.

Increased fire can bring anger and short temper.

Increased earth and water can bring sadness, helplessness, and depression.

Understanding how elements work, which elements are prevalent at a particular time, and how to harmonize with them, helps us govern our state and better understand others.

In the workshop on March 14 with Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo we will explore different emotional states and the ways we can balance them according to Tibetan Medicine's view of the elements.

Join us to learn how to navigate the beautiful and intense part of our existence through the lens of Traditional Tibetan wisdom.
