Lhuentse Traditional Medicine Unit

An indigenous medicine unit in Lhuentse town providing traditional Bhutanese medicine (Sowa Rigpa) alongside the district's modern hospital. The unit dispenses herbal medicines, offers traditional therapies, and provides consultations based on Buddhist medical science. In remote Lhuentse, where the Kurtoep population maintains strong ties to traditional healing practices, the unit complements allopathic healthcare and is well utilized by local residents, particularly the elderly.
