Hi Pierce,
you could have a look at the COPAC entries under the search "Burmese medicine",
or "Burma medical" etc.
www.copac.ac.uk
Quite a lot comes up. Depending on which type of medicine you're interested in,
you can find a lot on colonial records, but also literature on modern medicine
in Burma and medicinal plants. There are a number of manuscripts listed (located
at the Wellcome Library in London), which would probably cover indigenous
medicine - or perhaps these record traditional medicines from other sources,
like Ayurveda (one of the titles might refer to Caraka, for example). Then,
there seem to be a number of Buddhist texts relating to medicine - some from the
Pali Canon, I think.
Anyway, have a look for yourself.

Very best, Dagmar
