Tibetan medicine bathing method: knowledge and practice of life health and disease prevention of the Chinese Tibetan people

Tibetan medicine bathing, called "Longmu" in Tibetan, is a traditional knowledge and practice of the Tibetan people to adjust the balance of body and mind and achieve life health and disease prevention and treatment by bathing in natural hot springs or water or steam boiled with medicines, guided by the "five sources" of life view of earth, water, fire, wind and space and the "three causes" of health and disease view of Long, Tripa and Bacon. This heritage project not only reflects the folk experience of the relevant community people in preventing and curing diseases through bathing, but also inherits and develops the traditional Tibetan medicine theory represented by the "Four Medical Classics" in contemporary health practice. As an important part of Tibetan medicine "Sowar Riba", Tibetan medicine bathing is concentrated in the Yalong River Valley of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Tibetan farming and pastoral areas of the Zongka Mountains. It is widely spread in Tibetan areas in Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan and other places, playing an important role in protecting the life health and disease prevention and treatment of Tibetan people. This heritage project carries traditional Tibetan knowledge such as astronomy and calendar, natural history, ritual beliefs, behavioral norms, daily life and food. It has also been widely disseminated through cultural expressions such as Tibetan mythology, legends, epics, dramas, paintings and sculptures. It not only provides the Tibetan people with a continuous sense of identity, but also enriches human health knowledge and practices. It is a witness to the world's cultural diversity and human creativity.
