Kampo is the Traditional Japanese Medicine
that was developed and used in China during the Han dynasty (206 BC –
220 AD). It is the formulation corresponding to Sho. The idea of Kampo
is that the human body and mind are inseparable and a balance of
physical and mental is essential for human health. Kampo employs a
symptom-oriented, holistic approach.
It does not focus only on the condition of diseased parts of the body
but checks the condition of the entire body and mind. It also seeks to
produce a proper balance of all organ systems to recover health in
patients. The western medicine and Kampo are being used together in clinical treatment. This combination therapy has contributed to enhanced patient quality of life.
