“Master antidote for poisoning, chronic fevers, and digestive disorders.”
What is Tsotru Dashel?
Rinchen Tsotru Dashel, also known as the Precious Moon Crystal, is one of the most widely respected precious pills in Tibetan medicine. With a history of over 1200 years of use, it is crafted from 50 purified ingredients including gold, silver, copper, brass, and bronze, along with treasured Tibetan herbs such as Gynachum forresti, Saussurea lappa, Commiphora mukul, Strychnos nux-vomica (detoxified), Myristica fragrans (Nutmeg), and Eugenia caryophyllata (Clove).
The ingredients are harvested, detoxified, and combined using methods preserved for centuries in Buddhist monasteries across India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. These pills are not only pharmacological formulas but are also blessed and consecrated, ensuring their potency and spiritual alignment.
