8. Tibetan jewelry

Tibetan jewelry are polished out of coral, agate, yak bone, Tibetan silver and other materials only available on the Tibetan plateau. They are polished by Tibetans not only in the pursuit of beauty, but they can also bring auspiciousness or avoid evils, and make people who wear it look more generous and bold.

9. Tibetan medicine

Tibetan medicine, which was created over 2,000 years ago, is one of the ethnic medicines that remained well-preserved and influential in China. Through long-term practices and extensive information gathering, Tibetan medicine has formed a unique medicine system that integrates Chinese, Indian, Persian and Arabian medicine and other medical theories. Cardiovascular disease, tumor and other diseases respond well to many Tibetan medicines. For example, the 70-flavor Pearl, which is made of 70 precious medicines such as pearl, saffron, Calculus bovis, musk, agate, coral and gold, serves to tranquilize the mind, adjust blood pressure, and make the body stronger, while paralysis, unstable blood pressure, concussions among other diseases respond well to it.

10. Ox horn combs

Ox horn is a precious Chinese medicine that can clear away heat and toxic materials, nourish yin and cool blood, lower blood pressure, remove damp, and treat unhealthy urinary systems and remove stones from the body. The Tibetans make combs out of natural ox horn. The long-term use of ox horn combs will prevent hair loss, clear away heat and cool blood, make you feel refreshed, reduce mental pressure, adjust blood pressure, avoid headaches, relax muscles and activate blood circulation, and enhance cellular immunity, and will help combat neurosis. Because the ox horn comb is polished by hand from natural materials, every comb bears a unique "flaw." Ox horn combs are good gifts for friends and relatives because they not only keep you fit, but also are worthy of collecting.
