Craigs book explores how Tibetan medicine circulates through diverse social settings as commercial goods or gifts, how it is viewed as a therapeutic panacea for a variety of biophysical and psychosocial ills, and how it reflects broader trends in the bio-politics of traditional medicine in local and global arenas.…
