“For anyone interested in Tibetan medicine specifically and naturopathic healing in general, Healing from the Source is an impressive and precious record of the treatment system he has successfully applied over many years and includes his own story and experience as a physician.” —Georg Feuerstein, PhD, author of The Deeper Dimension of Yoga
“An interesting collection of writings on Tibetan medical information we can all learn from, which focuses on the health and healing of the human condition unlike Western medical technology, which treats the diagnosis and often depersonalizes the patient.” —Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles
“Dr. Dhonden demonstrates an encyclopedic grasp of his topic while also being accessible on a personal level. Many personal anecdotes (often quite humorous) are effective at providing a broader and humanizing context to his detailed knowledge.” —ForeWord Magazine
