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 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.

Kunde (pronounced: kün-dey, spelled: ཀུན་བདེ།) Institute, a center for Tibetan wellness and healing, was founded by Doctor Yangdron Kalzang in 2004. The name “Kunde” was given to the center by her root teacher, Kenpo Troru Tsenam Rinpoche, one of the most highly respected scholars of traditional Tibetan Medicine in Tibet. In Tibetan, “Kunde” means “may all beings be healthy, wealthy and happy.” Dedicated to the mission of benefiting all people with affordable, integrative health services, Kunde offers a variety of traditional Tibetan and Asian medical modalities. Offices are located in Daly City and Berkeley.
