There are three main types of Tibetan medicine baths: water bath, compress bath, and steam bath. Medicinal water bath is the most common and most commonly used. It is to boil five kinds of Tibetan herbs, namely, juniper leaves, yellow azalea leaves, water cypress branches, alpine ephedra, and "Kanba", as the main medicines, and then let the patients soak and bathe. It has the effects of loosening and unblocking meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and removing wind and dampness. It has excellent curative effects on the treatment of rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, and skin diseases. Tibetan medicine bath therapy has regional and ethnic characteristics.
