"What are we to understand under the term 'Rinchen rilbu' or Precious (Jewel) Pill? In Tibetan Medicine this term reflects the power, or the potentiated capacity to heal diseases intractable to other agents. The capacity of these very special pills for extraordinary therapeutic effects is based on special and often unusual ingredients and their complex pharmacological processing methods- but also on the spiritual power and concentration of the physician who prepared the medicine."
