Padma 28 (Adaptrin) Tibetan Medicine

Tibetan medicine is one of the oldest medicines in the world and only became open to public eyes after the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959, when the Dalai Lama established the Tibetan Medical Institute in Dharamsala. This medical system draws from knowledge of India (Ayurveda and Siddha), China, Persia, and Greece which means it integrates acupuncture, herbalism, massage, yoga and meditation with indigenous knowledge of healing plants and minerals, and the Buddhist understanding of the mind-body relationship.

Adaptrin (Padma 28)

Adaptrin is an herbal mixture originating in Tibet. Previously known as "Padma-28," it was suppressed by the Food and Drug Administration (despite no complaints or safety concerns). It is now available through a different supplier who wisely makes no statements about what it might be used for. In Padma 28/Adaptrin, twenty-two ingredients are combined in a specific order.
