Rinchen Jumar 25 Precious Pill
Jumar 25
Rinchen Jumar 25 (Precious Coral) is one of the most commonly prescribed of the many "precious pills" (Rinchen Rilbu) used in the field of Tibetan medicine. Compounded of 25 naturally grown and conscientiously harvested herbs and minerals, this formula is highly regarded as a 'brain tonic', useful for managing anxiousness. It is also traditionally used to maintain healthy blood pressure (already within the normal range), and promote a healthy nervous system. Of all the precious pills, our Tibetan doctor recommended this as the most useful for those living in the West. This formula was first developed by the ancient physician Shasandhara Lakhsmi who himself used the formula to save his own life.
In use for more than 1200 years in Tibet, precious pill formulations are held to be some of the most powerful, deep acting preparations in the traditional pharmacopeia. The knowledge of how to harvest, purify and combine the ingredients, along with the spiritual techniques for blessing and consecrating them in order to bring out their full potency and efficacious benefits, is preserved to this day in the active Buddhist monasteries of India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet, where these pills are hand made in rigorous harmony with both the scriptural and oral traditions.
These blessed and holy pills may be kept on one's shrine as objects of veneration, or installed in statues and stupas to bestow blessings. When consumed, one should not take more than one pill per month, unless prescribed by a Tibetan doctor.
Note: These precious pills are very powerful. We strongly recommend you use them only under the recommendation of a trained Tibetan or Chinese doctor.
Indications
Traditional conditions for which Jumar 25 is used include:supporting healthy blood pressure (one already within normal range) and muscle and bone support.
migraine headache, high blood pressure, various forms of acute headaches, stiff neck, facial palsy, numbness and trembling, poor circulation, epilepsy, sciatica, lower back pain, and paralysis. In addition, it is traditionally used to reduce pain associated with gout and arthritis. This formula can be used as a general wellness supplement by those in otherwise good health.
It is important to note that these are traditional uses, and that this formula is not a treatment for any disease or condition, and is not an alternative to good, modern health care. If you are trying to treat a particular illness, see your doctor first.
Method
The usual method is to crush and swallow with a good amount of hot water on an empty stomach.
When used to improve general health and vitality, the following method is preferred:
Soak the pill overnight in a small amount of hot boiled water, covering it with a lid. Do not expose the pill to bright light. Before dawn the next morning, crush and stir the contents either with the ring finger while reciting the Medicine Buddha mantra a few times (see below), then drink the whole mixture after adding a small amount of hot water. Follow with another cup of hot water. Immediately return to bed, covering oneself with warm blankets and sleep for about an hour in order to induce perspiration. Upon waking, drink additional hot water infused with saffron to close the channels of the subtle body. This process helps the formula to penetrate as deeply as possible. To increase the effects one may take the pill on the new or full moon, or during other auspicious times.
For three to seven days after taking the formula, it is considered auspicious and beneficial to avoid fish, pork, eggs, onion, garlic, fermented foods, hot spices, rigorous exercises and sports, sleeping during the day, cold showers, large amounts of raw food, and sexual activity.
