Upon meeting Trinn Hatch, founder of Jampha, an organic terpene-enhanced full spectrum CBD company, Amchi Thubten Lekshe and Trinn Hatch both felt an immediate alignment of their shared passion for plant medicines and decided to work together. In 2021 Amchi Lekshe brought Tibetan Pharmacy (TibetanPharmacy.com) to Trinn Hatch’s Jampha.com and together they have built the current Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy at Jampha.com. In the Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy lab together creating the most energetically alive and effectively advanced plant medicines the world has ever experienced. Truly So, There is good explanation why that is so, read on.

Every one of Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy tinctured synergy-enhance liquid extract plant infusions contain compositions of plants, minerals, resins, and terpenes. Each formulation has a unique entourage of plant phytochemistry, rich in biologically active substances, restoring, strengthening, and empowering our body systems, core life force essences, and heart alliances with mind and spirit. 

Amchi Thubten Lekshe has advanced the Tibetan Art and Science of Tibetan Sowa Rigpa’s medicinal plant knowledge and use by expanding the understanding of how botanicals should be utilized and carefully curated into plant medicines. His distinctive approach and processes ignite the live synergy of plant phytochemistry into an energized living vibratory expression, producing healing results faster than traditional plant extracts, because of the increased bioactivity, bio absorbable and being more easily ‘read’ signaling cell receptors throughout the body.

History of Amchi Thubten Lekshe’s Concern for Loss of Terpenes in production of Plant Medicine

Amchi La noticed back in the 1970s, while making plant medicines in the Himalaya’s, the way it had been practiced for centuries, with the highly respected Tibetan women physician Amala Lobsang Dolma and at Mens Tsee Khang – His Holiness The Dalai Lama’s Institute if Tibetan Medicine. Amchi La noticed that terpenes and the subtle life force essences were lost when the plants were dried for use as medicines. 

The traditional dried herb powders and pills, and even liquid tinctures made from dried plants and liquid extracts, lacked the vital living essence felt in the life force of live plants and that he knew those factors were responsible for waking up receptors throughout the body. 

Terpenes Have Been Excluded From Traditional Tibetan Medicine for Centuries

For centuries around the globe, loss of terpenes in drying or liquid extraction and processing botanicals were not considered important or often even noticed, their usefulness and purpose not understood as integral to the plant’s expression or as an important component of bio availability to the integrity in medicinal plant formulation and effectiveness. 

Amchi Thubten Lekshe recognized this loss of life force energy and top note terpenes when picking and eating flower petals as a child. He later gained greater clarification while formulating medicines in his teens with Ella Birzneck a skilled Latvian herbalist, he naturally intuited terpenes function to spark bio-connective activity of the plants’ properties to the body’s receptors and also because he could feel it. He again became quite aware of that in McLeod Ganj, India, when apprenticing and expressing these insights with Tibetan Dr. Amala Lobsang Dolma and physicians at Mens Tsee Khang, that these components were being lost even with low temp drying processes. It was not a concern to them because they could see no effective control of that happening in the processing of botanical materials and the more obvious compounds and active ingredients were perceived to be potent enough.

Before isolated plant terpenes were readily available, Amchi Thubten Lekshe used terpene expressions found from the perfumery distillers of pure plant distillations in France and Switzerland and he also understood the full fresh plant energy was more bioactive, nutrient-dense and more bio available to our body systems than dried herb powders and pills. He began small runs of plant extracts at his apothecary in the Pike Place Market of Seattle called Tenzing Momo. But because the variety of plant terpenes needed were not available at the time he knew it would be later before he could revisit this approach. 

Further background of Amchi Thubten Lekshe

Amchi Thubten Lekshe has over 50 years of experience in botanical research, formulation, and clinical application. He has been a well-trained lineage practitioner of the Tibetan Sowa-Rigpa tradition of Tibetan medicine beginning sutra and tantra training in 1969 with Ven. Dashun Rinpoche, and Ven. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Since then, he continued in 1973 with his main root teachers Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche (Ref: Tanaduk.com). He was fortunate to confer and have further mentorship with senior physician and head of pharmacology at H.H. Dalai Lama’s Institute of Tibetan medicine, Tenzin Chodak while he was staying with Amchi La in the mid eighties. During hikes in the nearby forests and sharing Amchi La’s adjustments to traditional formulations that included bugs and animal parts, with suitable alternates from the mineral and plant kingdoms, Tenzin Choedrak was quite enthusiastic and pleased with these alternates seeing that they were quite functional. Since then while creating his own formulations, Amchi Lekshe has been adjusting and enhancing traditional formulations with current science while maintaining balanced botanical signatures, keeping formulation energetically on point, balanced and expressive.

While in the Himalayas in the 1970’s, Amchi Thubten Lekshe realized that the traditional botanicals used in making Tibetan medicine were being over-harvested and not thoughtfully wildcrafted. This concerned him greatly, and he founded The Tanaduk Botanical Research Institute of Tibetan Medicine to study, protect, and preserve botanical areas and the botanicals used in Himalayan medicine. 

Wildcrafting and propagation methods were taught and new areas for using companion propagation were established in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, including high-altitude plantations for rare and over-harvested medicinal plants. See Tanaduk.com for more information.

Background of Trinn Hatch

Trinn Hatch was born into a multigenerational military family, and protection was a natural career choice. Over ten years of service, he provided personal security to Olympians, Royalty, Diplomats, Executives, FDA Scientists, and victims of human trafficking.

Trinn’s training and instincts prepared him to manage whatever the situation presented until one night in 2012. An assault took him by surprise and overpowered him. In a few brutal moments, his career and health were irreparably damaged.

His left leg was so severely broken that the doctors weren’t sure they could save it. Trinn spent three months locked in an external fixator as they did surgery after surgery.

Pain, PTSD, and Hopelessness

Trinn lived in pain and a revolving door of doctors, never finding more than momentary relief and constantly confronted with mixed information. The physical toll was tremendous, but the emotional toll and resulting PTSD became debilitating. Life was anything but balanced as he took more than 17 medications to manage pain, inflammation, and more.

PTSD wasn’t unknown to Trinn. Growing up with military parents and grandparents and years of protecting veterans and their families had shown him the intense emotional toll war, violence, and trauma take on the psyche. However, seeing it from the outside hadn’t prepared him for the experience.

Trinn fell into helplessness and despair. He felt like a financial drain on his family, unable to support his mother in her time of need, and it was too much. Trinn hit rock bottom. In that low moment, it seemed easier to spare his family the burden he had become than to keep fighting.

A Heartfelt Plea for Help

His body seemed broken, and his spirit was losing hope. Desperate, he asked the Universe to show him how to heal himself naturally and entirely in body, mind, and soul. He promised the Universe that if he was shown how he would spend his life helping others to learn. 

Within two weeks of that moment, Trinn became aware of CBD, hemp and terpenes and returned to work at a new medical cannabis dispensary that had just opened its doors.

CBD and Terpenes on the Path to Healing

CBD, Terpenes, and other remarkable plant molecules gave Trinn a more holistic view of his body and how nature can support it. He began investigating and experimenting with CBD and hemp terpenes for his healing and began to use what he was learning to support recovery for himself.

Slowly and steadily, he weaned himself off the 17 different medications. Over two years, bit by bit, his head cleared from the pain-killer-induced fog, and his body expelled residual toxins. Healthy and with renewed gratitude for this precious human life.

Trinn’s Experiential Vibrational Approach 

Trinn’s desire to get off traditional medications inspired him to use terpenes and cannabinoids in combinations that weren’t available on the market and began his journey on a path into experiencing what Plant medicines can really do. 

Trinn and Amchi La together creating Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy embodies the spirit of delivering healing most needed in these current times, an approach that delivers from the heart. Loving Kindness is at the core of everything they do on their path to revealing and delivering advanced ways to relieve pain and suffering and its causes. 

Ten percent or more of gross sales deliver botanical medicine to people facing health issues without the means to pay. Every product you buy provides someone in need with natural remedies for their healing journey.

Trinn Sets an Intentional Prayer & The Quanta Responded

Realizing CBD and hemp terpenes were a few drops in the oceans of the potential for plant healing, Trinn set a powerful intention asking the Universe to bring forth a Master of botanical medicine to light Jampha’s pathway forward with greater wisdom and knowledge.

Within two weeks of and in direct answer to this heartfelt prayerful request, Amchi Thubten Lekshe made contact. It was soon evident that the Universe (Quanta) had delivered a stream of many blessings within Trinn’s intention prayers, all at once.

Trinn was amazed to discover that Amchi Thubten Lekshe has a broad and deeply developed experience in spiritual healing and Tibetan medicine, but also Ayurvedic training and practice in India and training in Chinese medicine in Hong Kong. A physician with 50 years of experience. He received teachings and training with many great souls from many walks of life, including Tibet’s greatest medical and spiritual minds (Ref:Tanaduk.com) and is now guiding the development of Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy.
