Abstract: The history of the Tibetan Medicine dates back to 7th century AD. The main sources that had an impact on Tibetan Medicine before 13th century AD were India, China and the West. However, Central Asian Medicine also had an intense interaction with Tibetan Medicine. It was noted that early Tibetan Medicine sources have contained some information of medicine in Central Asian Turkish states. It was seen that three different words were used to describe Turks in these texts: : Drugu (Turk), Hor (Uyghur) and Garlok (Qarluq). What we learn about Turkish medicine from Tibetan medical texts is as below: -At least one Turkish physician was among the participitants of International Medical Conference that was held in Tibet in 728 AD. -Turkish medicine was one of the established medical traditions neighboring to Tibet. -There were several medical textbooks written by Turkish physicians. -There were some diagnositic or therapeutic specialities in which Turkish states were good. -Tibetans have accepted and used some therapeutic methods which were used by Turks. -Medicine was introduced to Turks (i.e. Kok-Turks) by physician Biguta while it was introduced to Qarluqs by physician Harina.
