Padma

Padma is an impressive cooling anti-inflammatory herbal formula that originated hundreds of years ago in the Himalayan Mountains of Tibet. In Tibetan medicine, illnesses are categorized as being hot, cold, or neutral, and remedies are designed to create balance. Many of today's most common ailments are considered "hot." These include arteriosclerosis, intermittent claudication (leg pain), and every condition that ends in itis. Although herbal formulas typically have little or no science behind them, Padma is the most studied "cooling" formula with more than fifty scientific studies to back up its effectiveness. Individually, each of the nineteen herbs and two other natural ingredients in this formula reduce inflammation and increase circulation. However, Padma does much more. The combined effect of all of its ingredients helps regulate and restore balance to various systems of the body for optimal health.
