Eighty one years ago, on a
visit to Burma, Himalaya's founder, Mr. M. Manal, saw restless
elephants being fed with a root to pacify them. The plant from which
this was taken is
Rauwolfia serpentina. Fascinated by the plant's effect on
elephants, he had it scientifically evaluated. After extensive research,
Serpina®, the world's first anti-hypertensive
drug, was launched in 1934.
