This list of 12 is drawn from the Shel gong shel phreng, others contain only 10. Essence medicines are characterized by strong potency and fragrance. ut pal can be included when it is the Indian blue lotus (Nymphaea nouchali Burm.f.), but the Tibetan substitutes for it, the Himalayan poppies (ut pal), are not considered rtsi sman because they lack the fragrance.
