Himalaya

Himalaya Drug Company began working in 1930. A curious young man that was riding through the forests of Burma saw some restless elephants that were being fed through the root of a plant, Rauwolfia serpentina, which actually helped to pacify them. Fascinated by the plant's effect on elephants, this young man, Mr. M. Manal is the founder of Himalaya and wanted to scientifically test the properties of herbs.

With no money and a pocketful of dreams, he pawned to get a hand-operated tableting machine. The years, which followed were a time of endurance and a test of the young man, strength and complete passion.

At Himalaya Drug Company, research might begin with raw herbs that are chosen from traditional texts and from observations and experiences of some indigenous plants. The team of herbalists in this company study texts, both traditional and scientific, exhaustively for some relevant data. Few herbs of promising activity are short-listed by this company. Polyherbal formulations of such short-listed herbs are made for providing a wider scope of pharmacological and cosmetic activity. Multicentered, double-blind trials as per the WHO criteria further assist in scientifically validating the formulations.

Today, the company Himalaya Drug Company has created a state-of-the-art Research and Development facility that is located at Bengaluru that is one of the best available, for the traditional medicine anywhere present in the world. Approx. over 40 qualified doctors and scientists are constantly at work, developing and evaluating numerous drugs and therapies.
