The primary reference for this topic is the book "Tibetan Medicine: With Special Reference to Yoga Sataka" by Vaidya Bhagwan Dash. It explores the historical and clinical intersections between Indian Ayurveda and Traditional Tibetan Medicine (Sowa Rigpa). The Yoga Śataka is an ancient medical text attributed to the Indian sage Nāgārjuna or Vararuci. Its significance in Tibetan medicine lies in how it bridges Indian and Tibetan healing traditions Medical Specialisations: Dash's work provides a critical study of the Yoga Śataka by discussing several traditional tantric medical branches: Salakya Tantra: Treatment of diseases above the neck (eyes, ears, nose, throat). Salya Tantra: Major surgery and dealing with foreign bodies. Agada Tantra: Toxicology and the treatment of poisoning.
