Movie Reviews of The Knowledge of Healing
Movie Review: Awakening
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie on two sessions,.
It was worth the money spent, and more. The scientific knowledge the Tibetan medicine is introducing here is vast.
There are also Western professionals who confirm the miraculous healing properties of the plant extracts described.
His Holiness Dalai Lama gives a plenty of correct and precise information, which is easy to remember and understand.
This very high class document is the top of my movies. hmm, I've got four of them:D
Summary of The Knowledge of Healing
The new documentary THE KNOWLEDGE OF HEALING is an illuminating examination of Tibetan medicine, a practice which has developed over two millennia into a modern day successful method of healing that rivals western medical practices.Unlike Western medicine, based on biochemistry, Tibetan medical thinking (which is strongly rooted in Buddhist principles) views the human body as governed by an elaborately organized system of energies flowing through a network of channels. In the 12th century, the Gy?shi (Knowledge of Healing) was created, a text codifying this intricate system. The medications used comprise herbs, roots, minerals, etc. After flourishing for centuries, most Tibetan medical schools were destroyed by the Chinese in the 1950's and 1960's, and many physicians were executed.
Speaking from exile, the Dalai Lama argues for the value of Tibetan medicine, while his personal physician Dr. Tenzin Choedrak describes the principles behind it. We follow physicians in India and Siberia treating patients for a variety of ailments from paralysis to heart disease, and meet researchers in Israel and Switzerland to see how western clinical studies are testing the effectiveness of Tibetan medicine.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF HEALING is not propaganda for alternative medicine, but a thorough, objective examination of an ancient interpretation of human physiology, and a compelling investigation into an alternative approach to healing.
