What is Sorig, the traditional healing system of Tibet?
Sorig is the traditional medicine of Tibet. A healing tradition that arose over 2,500 years ago and is still practised today. It brings together observations from nature with a deep understanding of the human body, the mind and their interaction. Herbs, minerals and plant oils play a central role. Not as a replacement for Western medicine, but as an independent tradition thousands of years old that has something substantial to offer people today.
The herbs and natural products of the Sorig tradition are made in Tibetan monasteries and by trained amchi, the traditional Tibetan doctors. Each recipe follows an inner logic that addresses body and mind alike. In this tradition juniper is associated with cleansing, sandalwood with calming and saffron with strengthening. This knowledge has been passed on over generations and is documented in old Tibetan medical texts.

All natural, all without synthetic additives, all with a clear origin. We know the people behind them and how these products are made.
Sorig products are not miracle cures. They are an offer to care for your own body and mind in a gentle, natural way.
