Who Is This For?
Recommended for women aged 15 and older who have a moderate or weaker constitution and are experiencing both skin concerns (dryness, eczema, spots) and symptoms associated with hormonal changes (menopause, PMS-related fatigue, cold sensitivity, irritability). Ideal if you find yourself dealing with skin issues that worsen during hormonal transitions, or if other menopause remedies have addressed your mood and energy but not your skin. Not recommended for those with active gastrointestinal disorders.
How to Use
Take 4 tablets per dose, 3 times per day. Take before meals or between meals (on an empty stomach is ideal), swallowed with water or warm water. Do not exceed 12 tablets per day. Begin taking at the onset of symptoms and continue consistently for best results. Age: 15 years and older only. Tip: Many Kampo practitioners recommend taking Kampo formulas consistently for at least 2–4 weeks before evaluating effectiveness, as results accumulate gradually.
