The Dispensatory at one of the Tibetan Medicine factories in Lhasa. A specially arranged guided tour through the factory showed a modern, high tech and sterile Factory similar to a modern western pharmaceutical company. This company and several others produce high quality traditional Tibetan formulas including the famous 'Precious Jewel Pills' (Rin Chen) for sale in Tibet and China. Tibetan Medicine has become highly regarded by the Chinese who often view Tibetan Medicine as stronger than their Chinese counterparts. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from taking photos within the factory. (Adam, 2009)
