Introduction:
Researchers Herbert Schwabl and Cecile Vennos highlight Tibetan medicine’s
significance, noting that Gabur-25 was registered in Switzerland as Padma-28 in 1977. This formula
is used internationally for improving blood circulation and treating heart pain, limb numbness,
skin discoloration, ulcers, chronic inflammation, tinnitus, and dizziness. The primary ingredient in
Padma-28 is Gabur-25.
The framework “Mkhan Chen Chos Kyi Rgyal Po’i Gsung ‘Bum Las Nyer Lnga’i Sde Tshan,” written
by Mongolian healer Lama Gegeen Luvsandanzanjantsan (1639–1704), compiles 30 medicinal
formulas, each containing 25 ingredients, including Gabur-25. This study examines its composition,
quality, and efficacy.
Results:
A comparative analysis of Gabur-25 from Luvsandanzanjantsan’s work with compositions from “The
Four Tantras of Medicine,” “Abstract of Nandin Erdene Extract,” and “The Four Mineral Waters”
revealed 17 shared ingredients and 8 variations. These differences suggest adaptations for treating
excessive heat-related conditions, gout, and cerebral palsy disorders.
Conclusion
Gabur-25 in Luvsandanzanjantsan’s work differs from other sources by seven medicinal ingredients.
It is particularly effective for dispersing excess heat, treating gout-related disorders, and aiding
paralysis-influenced conditions. This distinction highlights Gabur-25 as a modified formulation
tailored to regional ailments based on the author’s experience. The study underscores the evolving
nature of traditional Tibetan medicine and its adaptation to specific health conditions.
