Research & Translation Department
Preserving Ancient Wisdom Through Modern Scholarship
Botanical Research
Our dedicated team is engaged in the extensive mapping and studying of Himalayan medicine plants. We are documenting the rich biodiversity of the region, identifying medicinal species, and studying their traditional uses and pharmacological properties.
Sustainability Initiatives
We are committed to the preservation of threatened species. Our sustainability initiatives focus on the herbal cultivation of high-elevation medicinal plants that are at risk due to climate change and over-harvesting. By developing sustainable cultivation methods, we ensure the future availability of these vital resources.
Translation Projects
The Translation Department is dedicated to making the vast treasury of Tibetan medical literature accessible to the world. Our current projects include:
- The Four Tantras (Gyushi): The fundamental text of Tibetan Medicine.
- Yuthok Nyingthik: The spiritual practice cycle associated with Tibetan Medicine.
- Specialized Herbal Texts: Translations of varying materia medica and pharmacology texts.
