Internet resources for Tibetan medicine.
Tibetan medicine has a history of over one thousand years. With the recent fascination with Tibet and Tibetan culture, Tibetan medicine is receiving greater attention from the public, scholars, and the media. In the past few years, researchers and practitioners of Tibetan medicine have established a presence on the Internet, evident through Web sites and discussion groups. This paper presents a sampling of valuable resources about Tibetan medicine readily accessible on the Internet. The selected sites were evaluated on the basis of quality and quantity of information, authoritativeness, currency of material, quality of links, and navigability.
