herbal plantation

HAMP ( High Altitude Medicinal Plants )

Aims and objectives :

  1. To supply high-quality harvested medicinal raw herbs to Sowa-Rigpa and Ayurveda Institutes to increase the production capacity of medicines.
  2. Preservation and Conservation of Medicinal Plants through ex-situ method to reduce its extraction from the wild.
  3. To encourage Herbal Plantation through organizing workshops and seminars to spread awareness.

Area Covered :

  • We have around 23 acres of land meant for the cultivation of different kinds of medicinal plants, one green house and one mini green house.

CSRSR has been undertaking herbal plantations to support the need for raw materials in terms of dry or fresh herbs for compounding Sowa-Rigpa medicines. In these times of rapid development and profit investment era, many of the medicinal herbs which have a tremendous effect on disease treatment and preventive measures are now getting extinct and becoming endangered due to over-harvesting for profit manufacturing by those big pharmaceutical companies worldwide and especially in India.

Therefore, it is the core responsibility of these institutions to compensate for the loss of herbs in wild by growing them in the herbarium and another self-sustained plantation project. In this regard, CSRSR has been planting various medicinal herbs to become self-sufficient without depending much on market raw materials and other sources for compounding Sowa-Rigpa medicines since due to profit-ridden motive most of these market raw materials have adulteration in some kind or inferior in potency.

Therefore, we intend to supply those harvested raw materials and herbs from our plantation to other institutions compounding Sowa-Rigpa medicines.

From 2016 to 2017, we have planted over 17 different herbal medicines ranging from Tinospora Cordifolia to Triphala. Most of these herbs are very much used in compounding Sowa-Rigpa medicines and therefore, we plant more of these raw materials to encourage buying less from the market and to produce more from a plantation in order to achieve superior quality and efficacy of those potential herbs.

We always endeavor to grow our plantation project into a wider area where we can plant various herbs for multiple purposes that of research, study, and compounding medicines.
