Research

If one word captures the essence of Himalaya, it is research. It lies at the heart of everything we do. Drawing on ancient Ayurvedic texts, our scientists have validated the safety and efficacy of our herbal formulations using modern science. Every herb is studied in detail to identify its known and unknown therapeutic benefits. We have studied more than 10,000 herbs and discovered many new properties. In just eight years, we have filed more than 90 patents.

Our scientists are also researching herbal medicines for cancer, depression and women's health, among other areas.

Through scientific research, Himalaya has introduced several innovative products. Cystone, Himplasia and Septilin are among our breakthrough medicines prescribed by doctors around the world. Cyston, used to treat urinary stones, is the only herbal medicine available for this condition. It is supported by more than 90 clinical studies. Himplasia is the first herbal formulation to control benign prostatic hyperplasia. The efficacy of these medicines is comparable to allopathic medicines, without any side effects. Although herbs may not answer every unmet medical need, they can make a significant contribution to overall healthcare.

We have also applied the research strength of our pharmaceutical products to personal care products.

At Himalaya, we will continue to focus on research and build credibility in herbal medicines and personal care. Our customers understand that all our products are the result of years of research.
