RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS ON KAMPO HERBAL FORMULAS
Honso® formulas are clinical-proven and evidence-based. Chinese herbal formulas are regulated as pharmaceutical prescription drugs in Japan. Since the 1960's, Japanese researchers have gradually validated Kampo formulas with laboratory and clinical studies. Hundreds of research papers have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Honso® product Sho-Saiko-To (Xiao Chai Hu Tang, H09) has been in clinical trials for liver health at a New York cancer hospital.
Most of the Japan's research are published using the generic names of Kampo formulas. The links below will bring up the related research on
