    "Theory of Three Factors"
    Traditional Tibetan medicine is based on the "Theory of Three Factors". The theory centers on the "seven substances" and "three excrements" of the human body. The three factors are Lung, Chiba and Peigen; the seven substances include diet, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow and seminal fluid. And the three excrements are sweat, urine and stool. When a person is in good health, the relations between the three factors, seven substances and three excrements are in good balance. Keeping balance is an important principle of traditional Tibetan medicine.
