Shambhala believes in a holistic approach to health, one which recognizes the important connection between mental and physical wellness. As a result, although the bulk of Shambhala's health-related efforts are directed towards preventive medicine and well-being. They include fundraising for cataract operations, building clinics near monasteries and training Tibetan monks and nuns to staff them, and sending out jeeps outfitted as mobile clinics to help address the needs of nomadic communities. Shambhala also promotes holistic wellness concepts through efforts to revive Tibetan yoga, disseminating meditation techniques, and working with mountain communities and monks to revive herbal cures native to the region and then transforming them into new age spa products.
