The seven psychosomatic natures in Tibetan medicine

We all human beings are equal; there are no more differences in terms of communication and bodily activities such as walking, dancing and eating. However, with regards to physical condition and mental stage, we find difference within us. Some are big, whereas some small. Some are tolerant, whereas some are not. These differences arise due to proportional presence of five elements in our body. Without understanding the type of our body, we could manage our body and mind at the best level. Maintain your health by understanding your body type
