What is Hor-mey?

​        Hor-mey therapy (ཧོར་མེ།) is a simple, cost effective, and powerful drug-free therapy used in traditional Tibetan Medicine. This external therapy uses heat and herbal oil to heal by placing herbal poultices that have been warmed in sesame oil or ghee, (clarified butter) on the various “rlung” (རླུང།) (pronounced loong) or “wind” points located throughout the body.
