      abstract = {Zanskar is a valley tucked between the steep mountains on  the border of the Himalayas, at an altitude of 3,700  meters. In each village in this remote area of the world,  there is a traditional Tibetan medicine man named the  "Amchi." Since the beginning of time, the Amchi has passed  his knowledge down from father to son, or from teacher to  student. With the construction of a new road, however, the  valley was left vulnerable to the outside world. Since  then, the younger generation has rejected the age-old  wisdom and practices of the Amchi, embracing more modern,  lucrative activities instead. As a result, these forgotten  healers of the Himalayas are perhaps the last to practice  Tibetan medicine.},
