About HimPharm
It’s an instinctive sense of what works. Being obsessed with the little details. Scour the world to source rare ingredients. It’s blending all of this in the lap of nature, The Himalayas – our home.
It’s a little about experience, but it’s also about looking at what’s possible and new. We’re inspired by nature and fired up by our mission to make quality, natural products available to all.
It’s the reason why our colours are earthier, our scents are green. It’s why you’ll find a unique natural charm and love in everything we do.
Healing Herbs & Himachal Pharmaceuticals
The business has been handed down to us by our forefathers who taught us how to nurture herbs. We’ve expanded it over time to include manufacturing natural tea, health supplements, natural medicines, skin care products and pharmaceutical ingredients.
We divide our work into two branches which are independent running outfits – Healing Herbs and Himachal Pharmaceuticals
Healing Herbs
Healing Herbs aims at healing the mind, body and soul through its wide offering of natural supplements, skin care products, aphrodisiacs and medicines. All the products draw inspiration from ancient Ayurvedic texts but are based on modern science in the field of herbs and natural extracts.
Healing Herbs markets these products through various channels and specializes in manufacturing herbs and natural products for private labels or as third-party manufacturers.
Himachal Pharmaceuticals
Himachal Pharmaceuticals specializes in the isolation of active principles from natural sources through semi-synthesis. This results in the production of Phytochemicals, which are used by other pharmaceutical companies as their raw material.
