How did Padma get from Tibet to the rest of the world?

Originating in Tibet, Padma is one of many classical formulas saved during the Communist Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950. The herbal formula was hand carried out of Tibet by a Tibetan doctor, Alexander Badmajew.

Padma, well known as the primary longevity formula in all of Tibetan medicine, consists of nineteen different plants along with camphor and calcium sulfate making it an excellent product for health and longevity.

Eventually this ancient formula was passed to a Swiss pharmaceutical researcher, Karl Lutz, in 1954. He and a team of 150 Swiss doctors have been using it and testing it for decades, where they have seen its effectiveness in treating:

• memory problems
• tinnitus
• visual problems
• back and joint pain
• dizziness
• and fatigue

What makes Padma different from other natural remedies?

Padma promotes the ability to support an underactive immune system or turn down an overactive one through naturally-occuring adaptogens.

What's more it gives the body the ability to cool many types of inflammation that are the cause of many chronic diseases. Here are some of the primary functions of the way the body uses Padma to:

• promote and increase healthy blood circulation
• reduce plaque in veins and arteries (artherosclerosis)
• relieve angina pain
• reduce inflammatory conditions like arthritis, thyroiditis, pancreatitis, colitis, dermatitis, gingivitis and so on
• control bacterial infections in the lungs that can lead to asthma and allergies
• alleviate viral conditions, like herpes simplex and hepatitis
• reduce leg pain (intermittent claudication)
• support the immune system by reducing bronchitis and pneumonia
• reduce chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes and multiple sclerosis
• help block the spread of cancer by strengthening the immune system and removing excess toxins--can be used along with chemotherapy and radiation

Are there any other uses for Padma Basic's® formula?

Preliminary studies show Padma may also be potentially effective in their treatment of:

• autoimmune diseases such as lupus, psoriasis, Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis by reducing symptoms of these immune-attacking conditions
• vascular Alzheimer's disease (a form of senile dementia) by reducing the plaque in the artieries of the brain
• reversal of some liver damage due to alcoholism can be normalized
• sports and exercise injuries can be minimized by reducing the amount of inflammation and increasing circulation
• peptic duodenal ulcers by interrupting inflammation and irritation to allow faster healing
• circulation problems due to diabetes by improving circulation and speeding up hard-to-heal wounds
