ITM developed the White Tiger brand of formulas in 1993 for use in    its clinical facilities and for prescription by practitioners who follow similar treatment protocols. The formulas rely on Western concepts   of using dietary supplements and herbs, but were designed to be utilized within a Chinese medical health care approach.

The name White Tiger was chosen because, in the Chinese system    of classification, the white tiger is the representative of the West.     The tiger is also representative of the potential stored within.                A characteristic of the tiger is its stealth (remaining hidden), and the silent crouch that it holds (for as long as necessary) before striking vigorously. The formulations produced under the White Tiger label represent a Western approach to natural health care that store a huge amount of potential in a deceptively small space (compared to the volume of crude preparations).
