The herbal formula for Ramedica was discovered over a century ago by a young man, Lim See Tiew, on the Island of Hainan, China during the Ming Dynasty. See Tiew’s quest to find the perfect formula for aches and pains and other aliments became a legend in Asia-a formula so effective it became known as “the wonder balm”.Lim See Tiew experimented with endless combinations of herbs and he read every book on the subject that he could find. The ointment he concocted in his kitchen was effective although he felt it could be even better. The perfect formula eluded him for several years. One afternoon while he was returning from the mountains,
See Tiew became overcome with depression and fatigue. He sank down upon a large rock to rest and to make a crucial decision: should he continue to make the balm or should he give it up once and for all? Suddenly a strange thing happened that caught his attention. As he gazed across the meadow before him, a gentle breeze sprang up causing all the shrubs but one to bend and sway. This shrub alone appeared stationary and unyielding, but when the wind died down, it began to ripple and wave in motion while the other shrubs were still. Mystified, See Tiew carried it home to experiment with it. When this particular herb was added to the recipe, the effect was instantaneous. His search was ended. The formula was complete…a formula so effective it became known as “the wonder balm”. Ramedica was born!
