Conventional western medicine and alternative medicine are different in some ways, but they both rely heavily on plant molecules for medicine.
Nature is the master craftsman of molecules. At least 80% of drug substances are made from natural products or compounds, and around 50% of pharmaceuticals are created from compounds isolated from botanicals, insects, and animals. Even many of the synthetic drugs on the market are made to mimic molecules found in nature.
Pharmaceuticals use isolated molecules. However, there is growing scientific evidence backing up the traditional use of whole plant extracts. Studies show that the whole plant creates positive interactions, resulting in greater in vitro or in vivo activity than the same dose of isolated components.
Tibetan Medicine: A Time-Tested Tradition
Tibetan physicians began formulating and testing natural remedies thousands of years ago, handing down the wisdom and knowledge gained to each new generation.
Tibetan medicine, or Sowa Rigpa, is one of the oldest medical traditions. The first recorded conference, held in the 8th century, attracted physicians from India, China, and Persia, and the first school of Tibetan medicine was established shortly after.
His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, re-established an institute of Tibetan medicine in India in 1961 after his exile. It is called Men-Tsee-Khang.
Jampha’s Tibetan Pharmacy Pills are formulated in medical monasteries of Bhutan and Nepal and distributed by Jampha in the USA. Jampha’s botanical tinctured infusions are formulated by one of the few masters trained at the Men-Tsee-Khang. Amchi Thubten Lekshe has over 50 years of experience in Tibetan medicine herbs and clinical application.
The Founder’s Healing Journey
Trinn Hatch, Jampha’s founder, was injured severely and unable to continue working as a private security contractor. His injuries were severe enough that his doctors prescribed 16 different medications to manage pain, inflammation, and other complications.
After nearly giving up, he discovered the remarkable healing power of organic full-spectrum CBD. He recognized through personal experience that terpenes held a vast ocean of healing potential that seemed untapped and disconnected from Trinn’s prior experiences with herbal medicines.
He slowly weaned himself off the prescriptions by creating unique and targeted formulations. Terpenes became the guiding force from one formulation to another, directing the entourage of support in a way that our bodies' biochemistry can understand.
It was such a dramatic improvement in his quality of life, with similarly impressive results for family members; Trinn dedicated himself to understanding and sharing the remarkable power of plant medicine.
Trinn founded Jampha in the spirit of Loving Kindness in gratitude for his remarkable healing. Jampha is a name for Maitreya, the Buddha of Loving Kindness, and the word for loving-kindness in Tibetan.
A True Tibetan Medicine Lineage Holder
Amchi Thubten Lekshe had an affinity for plants and their healing properties since childhood. When he was a teenager, just starting his training with the Dalai Lama’s physicians in Men-Tsee-Khang, he noticed the terpenes were lost in the traditional drying process.
Amchi Thubten Lekshe brought his training to the west 45 years ago. He has been adjusting and enhancing the ancient formulations for western needs and physiologies while keeping the traditional formulas and botanical signatures intact.
As Trinn and Amchi came together, it was a natural evolution for each of them. Their work came together into a vibrantly new and expressive expression of traditional plant medicine in all forms.
Our Bodies Are Designed To Benefit From Plant Medicine
Plants have been integral to medicine since ancient times and are an invaluable source of pharmaceuticals. Our bodies are naturally suited to the support of herbal remedies and plant medicine.
Rather than masking symptoms or covering up underlying issues, plant medicine can activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Advanced Expression of Tibetan Medicine
Under the guidance of Sowa Rigpa lineage-holder Amchi Thubten Lekshe, Jampha offers an advanced expression of Tibetan medicine.
Jampha’s unique and potent natural tinctures are made traditionally with dried botanicals and other natural sources. Then, terpene isolates are skillfully and synergistically reintroduced to restore the full life force essence of the plants.
Plant terpenes are specialized plant molecules. In nature, terpenes perform specific plant functions, such as repair, protection, electron transfer, protein modifications, and much more. In an isolated form, terpenes each have unique healing potential.
Jampha’s Tibetan Infusions are made with rare and precious botanicals, minerals, and cannabinoids–all brought into a higher expression with Jampha’s Synergy Enhanced Terpenes.
There are few pathways left in the world to authentic Tibetan medicine as passed down for thousands of years. Plant medicine has powerful potential. Jampha strives to create it with reverence and respect in honor of the earth, the ancient wisdom, and those who need its healing.
Trinn Allen Hatch, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine
Trinn Hatch is a pioneer of plant medicine who developed Synergy Enhanced Terpene Infusions. During his path to healing, Trinn experienced how our body's biochemistry is hardwired to the energetics of plants. Amchi Thubten Lekshe is a Lineage holding Master Tibetan Physician and Jampha's Spiritual Director & Formulator. Together, their enlightened understanding of plants and the life force energy expressed as terpenes create a new and advanced expression of Sowa Rigpa, a more than 2500-year-old Tibetan Healing Science. Trinn has devoted his life to sharing these ancient treasuries of knowledge with the world, igniting the primordial healing wisdom within all beings.
