Replication in the United States of a United Kingdom Market Study Finds Shifting Patterns of Misidentification and Adulteration of Chinese Medicinal Plants
Understanding late medieval farming practices
During the preventive archaeological excavation in the cellar of the site of petite Rue des Bouchers in the historical centre of Brussels (Belgium), the waterlogged remains of a thirteenth century AD sunken byre (potstal) were discovered. The exceptional preservation instigated a multiproxy approach, including micro-archaeology, micromorphology, phytolith and endoparasite egg analysis on thin sections, palynology and the study of plant macroremai…
Healing at the Periphery
The Resurgence of a Tibetan Medical Hauntology
During the first wave of COVID-19 and the ensuing "anthropause" enforced by lockdown policies, Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa) rapidly emerged as a key interface through which Tibetan, Himalayan, and online communities responded to the spread of the virus. Apart from a host of preventative, protective, and curative measures-ranging from pills to amulets and mantras-the root causes for the pandemic's appearance and spread were framed through the int…
Challenging the Biomedical Notion of 'Active Substance
Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine) has been practiced across vast regions of Central and South Asia for centuries. In this medical tradition, it is common practice to dynamically adapt the mainly herbal formulas according to the regional flora and local conditions, and to use local variants of ingredients. Consequently, one Tibetan ingredient name within a specific formula can signify a variety of therapeutically fitting botanical items, which appear …
“Sourcery”
The standardising impacts of (inter)national regulations on Sowa Rigpa are increasingly visible, yet the complexities surrounding medicinal plant cultivation, trade, and conservation are perhaps more difficult to recognise. This chapter traces a handful of plants used in medicines by Men-Tsee-Khang (the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute in Dharamsala) and PADMA (a Swiss pharmaceutical company operating near Zürich) back to their supplier…
Garuda 5 (khyung lnga)
This article focuses on ethnographic work conducted at the Men-Tsee-Khang (Dharamsala, India) on Garuda 5 (khyung lnga), a commonly prescribed Tibetan medical formula. This medicine's efficacy as a painkiller and activity against infection and inflammation is largely due to a particularly powerful plant, known as 'virulent poison' (btsan dug) as well as 'the great medicine' (sman chen), and identified as a subset of Aconitum species. Its effects,…
