Dr. Namdul is no longer practicing a Bhakti Wellness Center. 

He is currently pursuing his Ph.D at Emory University in Atlanta. 

Bhakti Wellness Center is working with Tenzin and Miriam Cameron to find a Tibetan Medicine provider to take Dr. Namdul's place here at Bhakti but currently we have not decided on a provider.

We all miss Tenzin and wish him well with his many adventures in Atlanta and beyond.

Dr. Tenzin Namdul

Tenzin Namdul was born and raised in India. He graduated from and served as a doctor of traditional Tibetan Medicine, faculty member, and Director of Clinical Research at the Men-Tsee-Khang (MTK), the Tibetan Medical Institute of H.H. the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India.

Together with the MTK and international colleagues, Tenzin has conducted research and published scientific papers about Tibetan Medicine.

He translated and edited the nutritional textbook, "Tibetan Medical Dietary Book: Vol. 1 - Potency & Preparation of Vegetables," by Dr. Yangbum Gyal and published by the MTK in 2006. For the past 15 years, he has done Tibetan medicine consultations in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the U.S.

Since 2001, Tenzin has collaborated with Dr. Miriam Cameron on writing, research, teaching, and other scholarly projects involving Tibetan medicine.
