Ayurveda has contributed a great deal in enriching Tibetan medicine. The fundamental concepts of the Tibetan medical system, like the Ayurveda and the Siddha systems, also revolve around the five basic elements and the four humours. A unique feature of Tibetan medicine is its ideological structure of medical theory and practice, which is shown in the form of an Allegorical Tree. Its integrated Buddhist approach to the relationship between the mind and the body believes that the three inborn mental poisons of attachment, anger and delusion are the cause of all suffering. Other distinctive features of this system are pulse diagnosis and urine analysis. Although pulse reading is also a feature of the Ayurveda and the Siddha systems, the Tibetans have developed this to a highly sophisticated level. Pulse diagnosis is in fact, considered the most reliable diagnostic method for ailments.
