Japanese Health Products — Trusted Wellness Essentials from Japan's Pharmacies
Japan's pharmacies are stocked with some of the world's most effective health products — developed through decades of rigorous research and trusted by a population that consistently ranks among the world's healthiest and longest-lived. From pain relief to digestive support, eye care to allergy treatment, Japanese pharmacy staples address everyday wellness with remarkable precision.
At Tsujimoto Market, our Japanese health products collection includes pharmacy-trusted items across multiple categories: Salonpas and Hisamitsu pain relief patches, Rohto and Sante eye drops, Seirogan digestive tablets, Kobayashi Netsusama cooling gel sheets for fever, Biofermin probiotics for gut health, DHC and FANCL vitamins, and Wakamoto digestive enzyme supplements.
Japanese OTC (over-the-counter) health products follow strict manufacturing standards under Japan's Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act. Many products contain active pharmaceutical ingredients at carefully calibrated concentrations — meaning they are genuinely therapeutic, not just wellness products. Salonpas, for example, contains diclofenac sodium or methyl salicylate at concentrations proven to relieve muscle and joint pain.
All products are 100% authentic, sourced directly from Japan, and shipped from our warehouse in Kobe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Japanese OTC health products safe to use internationally?
Japanese OTC health products are regulated under Japan's Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act and are safe when used as directed. However, regulations on what constitutes a prescription versus OTC product vary by country. Some Japanese health products may be restricted imports in certain markets. We recommend checking your country's import rules for health products before ordering.
What are Salonpas patches and how do they work?
Salonpas are Japanese transdermal pain relief patches that deliver active anti-inflammatory ingredients (like methyl salicylate or diclofenac) directly through the skin to the site of pain. They are widely used in Japan for muscle aches, back pain, shoulder stiffness, and joint pain. They are one of Japan's most exported health products and are trusted by athletes and office workers alike.
How do Kobayashi Netsusama cooling sheets work for fever?
Kobayashi Netsusama cooling gel sheets use a water-based hydrogel that absorbs body heat and provides a long-lasting cooling sensation — typically for up to 8 hours. They are commonly used in Japan for fevers, headaches, and heat fatigue, and are safe for both adults and children. They do not lower body temperature medically but provide effective symptomatic relief.
Can I import Japanese health products to my country?
Most Japanese health supplements, patches, and OTC wellness products can be imported legally for personal use in most countries. Items containing specific pharmaceutical compounds may be subject to additional import regulations. If in doubt, check with your country's customs or health authority before ordering. We ship all orders with accurate product descriptions on customs forms.
