Exciting news in the nutraceutical world. Padma, Inc., a herbal and dietary supplement company was honored by a visit from the Dali Lama this month. It is viewed as support for the establishment and research of Tibetan medicine in the West.

Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) August 28, 2005 -- This month, his Holiness the Dali Lama visited Padma, Inc. a Swiss company that has manufactured plant-based medicinal products according to Tibetan formulas for more than 35 years. The Dalai Lama's visit supports the establishment and scientific research of Tibetan medicine in the West.

Tibetan medicine is based on a holistic philosophy with a decisive difference between the Western Medicine models which lies in the formulation of drugs. In Tibetan medicine, complex formulas based on natural raw materials are used. This is very important, especially in chronic diseases," said Dr. Isaac Eliaz, a prominent medical doctor in the West, who has integrated Tibetan medicine into his practice. Tibetan formulas are multi-substance mixtures and the many different natural ingredients complement each other and create a synergistic effect."

In order to integrate Tibetan formulations into the Western medical system, their effects have to be understood by both the physician and the patient. To achieve this, Padma, Inc. is continuously conducting scientific studies that explain the mechanism of action of their formulations. Modern scientific medicine is in a constant state of development with new active substances being developed and the causes of more diseases being identified. In the search for innovative approaches, Tibetan medicine can play an important role in the future.
