The Medicine Buddha is also called as the Healing Buddha. There were believes in Tibet that only touching with faith to the Medicine Buddha image was enough for healing. It also emphasizes efficacy of practices (sadhans) related with Bhaisajyaguru. 

Living beings suffer with two types of diseases: physical diseases due to the body suffers and weakens, and mental diseases or delusions. Body diseases are the result of mental diseases such as anger, attachment and ignorance. For living beings, both mind and body diseases are undesirable. Our mind depends highly on our body state and therefore healing of our bodily ailments goes a long way. As such, the Buddha presented himself in the image of the Medicine Buddha and taught Zhudshi, in other words, four medical tantras.  They set out healing methods more than 400 types of physical diseases, explain their sources and give symptoms of these diseases. Therefore, it is very useful to make the Medicine Buddha practice and to read his mantra every day - especially it helps as a preventive remedy against various infectious diseases.
