These individuals arrived in Boston suffering from symptoms of traumatic stress, interfering with their meditative practice. The monks were diagnosed by their traditional healers as having srog-rLung, a life-wind imbalance. Recognizing that barriers exist between western and eastern medicine, the BCRHHR researched and implemented its own complementary therapy options to heal them. These findings appear online in the March issue of Mental Health, Religion and Culture. http://www.physorg.com/news156155738.html Medicine & Health Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:36:07 EST news156155738 (AP) -- The health care safety net is straining.
