Abstract
Chapter three explores how scientists, medical professionals, and religious figures in Buryatia make claims about the existence of a separate branch of Tibetan medicine, grounded in the region’s history, as well as in Buryatia’s local scientific and scholarly pursuits. It situates these arguments in relation to efforts on the part of medical institutions, both in Buryatia and in Russia more broadly, to incorporate Tibetan medicine as part of a state-endorsed integrative medicine, as well as weave it into for-profit medical sites. On this terrain of therapeutic incorporation, claims about Buryat-Tibetan medicine interrogate the relationships that characterize the political and geographic imaginaries of the Russian state—and of medical integration itself—by re-centering Buryatia as a uniquely cosmopolitan therapeutic geography in its own right.
