My wellness routine involves an eclectic mix of ancient herbal medicines, modern technologies, curious oddities, and a bit of witchcraft. Though I landed in journalism, I dabbled in nutritional sciences and have been studying alternative medicines for years—guinea pigging myself and willing friends and family through liver flushes, heavy metal detoxes, and various skin treatments and concoctions.
While I’m attracted to modern advancements like red light therapy wands and nerve-blocking relief from menstrual cramps, my most tried and trusted allies are typically rooted in herbal medicines and ingredients in our natural world.
I want my products to offer tangible benefits that I can feel, and I want to know that they are good for me and the planet and, preferably—made with intention. After all, intention is a huge part of the magic of any kind of health-related endeavor.
It’s a great day when I come across one product I love from a new brand. But I’m thrilled when I find several that fit into my routine. That’s how I felt when I tried Jampha products. This Tibetan Pharmacy is creating some incredibly well-intentioned and effective products I’ve used for several weeks. Let me tell you all about it.
Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy
Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy blends ancient Tibetan herbal remedies with modern botanical pharmacology to create potent, synergy-enhanced infusions. Drawing on the wisdom of the 2500-year-old Tibetan medicine tradition, Jampha leverages the vibrant life force of terpenes to promote cellular health and overall vibrancy.
Tibetan medicine, known as Sowa Rigpa, is a Buddhist healing science that has evolved over millennia. After the 14th Dalai Lama’s exile, the Men-Tsee-Khang institute was re-established in India, preserving this ancient knowledge.
Jampha stands out among herbal extract manufacturers by collaborating with Venerable Amchi Thubten Lekshe, one of the few Tibetan medicine masters trained at Men-Tsee-Khang. For the past 45 years, Amchi Thubten Lekshe has been adapting traditional Tibetan formulations for Western physiologies while maintaining their botanical integrity. In 1977 he founded the Tibetan Pharmacy to educate and share the meticulous process behind Tibetan infusions and pills.
Jampha understands that our bodies are designed for plant medicine. The intricate molecules found in plants, particularly terpenes, support and regulate the balance within our endocannabinoid system (ECS), influencing various bodily functions such as chronic pain, inflammation, immune health, and mood.
While pharmaceuticals often isolate molecules, Jampha takes a holistic approach, recognizing that whole plant extracts offer more potent effects. This meticulous care in sourcing and handling plants ensures maximum potency and efficacy, making Jampha a leader in natural healing solutions.
Product Lineup and What I’ve Tried
Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy offers various products, including advanced infusions, herbal tinctures, and traditional Tibetan pill medicines. Their Synergy Enhanced Terpene Infusions (SETIs) are crafted from full-spectrum herbal extracts, while their topicals provide potent relief for pain and inflammation. Additionally, Jampha’s unique Tibetan pill medicines, made with meticulous care in medical monasteries, support overall health and wellness.
I tried one of each in these categories, plus a packet of Goji berries because they are a delicious snack and incredibly nutritious!
Icy Blue Gel
This is exactly what you think it is—a cooling, icy-hot gel designed to offer pain relief with a tingling, cooling effect. It’s ideal for lung and respiratory support, relieving tension headaches and reducing inflammation.
The reason I was excited about this product is because I have endometriosis—a painful condition where cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside of the uterus. Endometrial cells are often found throughout the lower abdomen but can also be found in other parts of the body. It behaves differently from woman to woman, but for me, it often means debilitating pain not just during my menstrual cycle but sometimes at random times throughout the month.
Jampha’s Icy Blue Gel is supportive in distracting from, and even reducing, that pain. I apply it across my lower back and lower abdomen. It works fast, offering me some targeted relief while I work on other modalities to help knock back the pain. Something like this is a lifesaver when I can’t just shut down and must address my symptoms quickly.
RoseGold Diamond Shilajit
I never want to run out of this product. If you haven’t heard much about shilajit, check out our shilajit guide exploring this powerful Himalayan resin. Jampha described their RoseGold Diamond Shilajit as a longevity elixir, rich in minerals that are easily absorbed by the body. Along with the shilajit, this tincture contains cordyceps, astragalus, Siberian ginseng, mucuna, and several terpenes.
Then, it’s “supercharged” with monatomic (ORMUS), colloidal gold, and nano-diamond powder. As Jampha says, these additional ingredients “amplify the combined life forces of this exceptional alchemical elixir.”
I can’t say that this product offers instant results like the icy blue gel. It’s something more subtle than that. But I can say that having taken shilajit in the past, taking a very long break, and coming back to it, I have noticed results. There is a bit of a boost in energy, life force, and immunity. I feel a little less bogged down, and a bit more nourished, and there’s something about this particular format for shilajit that feels incredibly valuable.
The high-quality ingredients and the intention with which it was produced make it sound out among other shilajit products. As for the flavor—look, shilajit is bold. You can’t get away from that earthy flavor, but after a week or so, I crave and anticipate the daily dose. My body loves this; maybe yours will, too.
Happiness of Mind Pills
The third product I tried was new to me. These happiness pills are not like capsules but small, perfectly round balls. There is no encapsulation or casing to them at all. They look like little pellets. I’ve never heard of a single one of these ingredients, but their ‘superstar’ ingredients are Mucuna Purita, Myristica Fragrans, Saussurea Lappa, and Ferula Jaeschkeana.
The reason I tried these pills is because I was interested in the form factor, and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. And that’s what they promise: a boost in mood, relief from feelings of depression, seasonal affective disorder, and stress and anxiety. I recently moved from a sunny high desert climate to the Pacific Northwest, and I knew that I needed support to get through the climate change.
Along with Vitamin D and melatonin, I thought I’d try these. You can take these like a normal pill, or let them soak in a bit of warm water, mash them, mix with more warm water, and drink. Followed by more warm water. I went for this route because I love a good ritual. The flavor was mild, herbal, and easy to take. I’ll be honest with you—I don’t know how much these played a role in my long gray winter mood, but I feel that I managed to navigate the climate pretty well.
Again, this is likely a combination of factors leading back to intention. These formulas were intentionally created to encourage heart happiness, and I took them intending to stay positive through a big shift in my life. To me, that balance was achieved.

Every Jampha product I tried aligns perfectly with my pursuit of tangible benefits rooted in ancient wisdom and natural ingredients. The Icy Blue Gel provided swift relief for my endometriosis pain, while the RoseGold Diamond Shilajit offered a subtle boost in vitality and resilience. The Happiness of Mind Pills, with their unique form and composition, supported my mood during a challenging transition.
What stands out most about Jampha is its commitment to creating products that are not only effective but also made with a deep sense of purpose. Their blend of traditional Tibetan medicine and modern botanical science is a testament to the power of holistic health. These products are more than just remedies; they are an embodiment of the intention and care that goes into every aspect of their creation.
