Throughout history, herbs like Geranium and Swertia japonica have been used in Japan for treating illnesses. Traditionally, these were single-ingredient remedies. Influenced by traditional Chinese medicine, the practice of combining multiple herbs to enhance therapeutic effects developed into what is known as Kampo in Japan.
Kampo and traditional Chinese medicine often combine herbs with opposing effects, such as herbs that raise blood pressure with those that lower it, to maintain homeostasis and minimize side effects. Here, we introduce readily available herbal mix supplements categorized by purpose.
