Traditional Bhutanese Doctor Consultation

An hour with a Sowa Rigpa traditional doctor in Thimphu or Paro, including pulse reading and herbs if needed.

A traditional Bhutanese doctor consultation is one hour with a practitioner of Sowa Rigpa, the traditional medicine of Bhutan. The consultation is held in Thimphu or Paro.

What happens

The doctor reads your pulse, may examine your urine, and talks with you about your sleep and your worries. Herbs may be prescribed. We arrange the consultation in advance.
