Our Science

Dating back 5000 years, Ayurveda or the 'science of life' is one of the oldest systems of natural health care in the world. Sometimes referred to as a bioscience, its chief aim is to cleanse the body of substances that cause diseases, thus helping to reestablish harmony and balance.

According to Charaka Samhita, one of the most revered Ayurvedic texts, Ayurveda needs to evolve with time. It needs to understand changing environmental circumstances and address health care needs accordingly.

Our founder, Mr. M. Manal, believed that for traditional medicine to be widely accepted, it needed to be credible. Credibility of drugs can be achieved through scientific validation.

Himalaya's first drug, Serpina®, the world's first natural antihypertensive drug, witnessed four years on clinical trials, scientific validation, and in discovering the process of making tablets. Mr. Manal believed that in order to make herbal medicine mainstream, it would need to follow allopathic protocols during development and be available in a widely accepted format like tablets or syrup. This is the only way in which Ayurveda could become relevant.

Himalaya scientists and herbalists spend years researching the therapeutic benefits of herbs. We use over 250 herbs in our products. As soon as new benefits of herbs are discovered, we update our herbal monograph, a guide that gives a basic description of the herb and lists its chemical constituents, actions, clinical uses, and recommended dosage. A great deal of time is spent authenticating the herb, isolating its active marker, testing its therapeutic property, and validating safety and efficacy. The whole process can take anywhere, on average, between seven to ten years. We believe that no investment is too much when it comes to developing safe and efficacious products. The results of our clinical trials are published in leading medical and peer-review journals.

At Himalaya, contemporizing Ayurveda means making the system of traditional health care mainstream.

Research at the Heart

If there is one word that captures the essence of Himalaya, it is research. It lies at the heart of everything we do. While drawing from ancient Ayurvedic texts, our scientists have validated the safety and efficacy of our herbal formulations using modern science. Each herb is studied in great detail to establish its known and unknown therapeutic benefits. We have studied over 10,000 herbs and discovered many new properties. In just eight years, we have filed over 90 patents.
Yet, our scientists are busy researching herbal drugs for conditions like cancer, depression, and women's health, amongst others.

Through research, Himalaya has introduced several innovative products. Cystone, Himplasia and Septilin are some of our breakthrough drugs that are prescribed by doctors across the world. Cystone, used in the treatment of urinary stones, is the only herbal drug available for this condition. It is backed by over 90 clinical trials. Himplasia is the first herbal formulation that controls benign prostate hyperplasia. The efficacy of these drugs is comparable to allopathic medicines, without any side effects. While herbs may not provide the answer to all unmet medical needs, they can make a significant contribution to overall health care.

We have applied the research strength of our Pharmaceutical products to Personal Care as well.

At Himalaya, we will continue to focus on research and build credibility for herbal medicines and personal care products. Our customers understand that all our products are a result of years of research.
