Dr. Badmaev Tradition integrates traditional Oriental and Western medicine concepts. The westward odyssey began in 1851 when Dr. Alexander Badmaev (Sul-Tim Badma) was invited from Buryatia (Lake Baikal) to the Russia St. Petersburg (west’s first Tibetan Pharmacy). His brother, Peter, became personal physician to the Russian Czar, Nicholas II. Following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Dr. Vladimir Badmaev Sr. moved to Poland (Warsaw’s Tibetan Pharmacy 1932). In the 1960s, Dr. Peter Badmaev Jr. established Tibetan medicine in Switzerland and in Western Europe. In 1984, Dr. Vladimir Badmaev Jr. established the Badmaev Natural Drug Foundation (USA) and in 2009 American Medical Holdings Inc.
