History of the Formula
Padma Basic® is based on a traditional cooling formula from the Tibetan monasteries of Transbaikalia. In the 1960's Dr. Karl Lutz, then a senior vice president at Schering Pharmaceuticals learned of the effectiveness of the formula from the Tibetan doctor that introduced the formula to Eastern Europe. His “discovery” began extensive research on the properties and benefits of the formula that has continued for over 30 years.
Tibetan Medicine
Ancient Tibetan medicine is a traditional healing system that focuses on harmonizing therapies. In this system, illness is viewed as a disruption of healthy energy flow and healing is fostered by restoring harmony between the individual and the external world as well as by unifying the body’s systems. For example “dryness” in the body would be treated with “moisturizing” formulas.
Formula Intention
Tibetan medicine views Padma Basic® as a cooling formula and as such is used in “hot conditions”. The formula is broadly appropriate for overall “cooling” and has been clinically evaluated.*
Extensive Research
Modern scientific studies confirm the health supportive benefits of this ancient herbal formula that has been used for centuries to help people stay active longer. In vitro research has verified the many benefits of Padma Basic®. Padma Basic®, along with proper diet and exercise, helps support and maintain an active lifestyle.*
