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.

Benefits of Hor-mey

​This practice acts to reduce mental and physical stress, boost the immune system, and increase the quality of sleep. It is widely used for mind and body imbalances including: stress, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, “monkey” mind, floating sensations, depression, PTSD, ADD, ADHD, and insomnia. Hor-mey therapy is also effective for women’s health issues (menstrual problems, pregnancy, and menopause), and increasing the wellness of seniors and those with terminal illness.
