[[Traditional Tibetan medicine]] utilizes up to two thousand types of plants, forty animal species, and fifty minerals. One of the key figures in its development was the renowned 8th century physician [[Yuthog Yontan Gonpo]], who produced the Four Medical Tantras integrating material from the medical traditions of Persia, India and China. The tantras contained a total of 156 chapters in the form of Thangkas, which tell about the archaic Tibetan medicine and the essences of medicines in other places.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.artoftibet.com/blogs/news/thangka-painting-a-buddhist-art | title=Thangka- Buddhist Art| date=20 May 2021}}</ref>
 
Yutok Yonten Gonpo's descendant, Yuthok Sarma Yonten Gonpo, further consolidated the tradition by adding eighteen medical works. One of his books{{Specify|date=July 2010}} includes paintings depicting the resetting of a broken bone.
