This dissertation examines Tibetan medicine and its roles in Tibetan politics and culture throughout history with a focus on the seventeenth-century and the reign of the Fifth Dalai Lama (1617-1682) and his last regent, Desi Sanggye Gyatso (1653-1705). It explores the role that their patronage of medical institutions, scholarship, and practice played in legitimizing the rule of their new regime and in helping to establish Lhasa as the capital of Tibet. It critically examines how modern scholars have approached the study of Tibetan medical history through a comparative approach with European medical history, arguing that applying ideas and periodizations from the latter onto the former is methodologically unsound. It suggests alternative approaches to the study of Tibetan medical history, including different ways to engage with Tibetan historiography and how we might begin to think about the roles of non-human actors, such as deities, in Tibetan history and medicine.
