  abstract = {{T}he therapeutic value of {B}itters in the withdrawal treatments of addicts in the {V}at {B}uddhist {M}onasteries of {T}ha{\¨ie}land and {B}urma in the light of recent pharmacological knowledge. {T}here are many populations, even in antiquity, which have used narcotic drugs and hallucinogens. {T}hese substances were employed on religious-magical occasions or to facilitate the interpretations of dreams and the diagnosis of pathology. {T}herefore, practices which could be useful for detoxication can be searched for in traditional medicine. {T}he authors analysed some withdrawal practices which are adopted in {T}ha{\¨ie}land and {B}urma. {T}hese procedures give priority to bitter substances. {A}fter a brief study of the pharmacological action of these bitters the authors conclude that these substances are useful in the physical-pathological circumstances which characterize withdrawal in addicts.
