Contains 7 Types of Natural Herbs from the Hida Forest

Philosophia Amplexicaule
A tall, deciduous tree from the Rutaceae family, its bark turns yellow when peeled. Known as Huangbai in traditional Chinese medicine, it has long been used as a stomach remedy, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. It is also believed to have been used as a folk medicine for centuries.

Mugwort
Mugwort is the primary ingredient for moxa in moxibustion therapy. Its distinctive fragrance contains cineole, which has a warming effect on the body. Mugwort steaming, introduced from Korea, has been a popular folk remedy for women's health issues.

Kakidooshi
Used as a folk remedy in both Japan and France for many years, Kakidooshi is harvested from the base of the plant in early summer, dried in the shade, and made into a herbal medicine known as Rensenso. A strong decoction is often applied to eczema and is also effective in treating digestive issues.

Inokozuchi
The stem of Inokozuchi has a square cross-section, with nodes resembling the knees of a boar, which is how it got its name, meaning "boar's knee hammer." It produces small green flowers from summer to autumn. Consuming it in salads or using it as a dried topping is said to improve blood circulation.

Mulberry
Mulberry, known for its delicious fruit, also boasts nutritious leaves and stems rich in calcium, iron, carotenoids, and minerals. Historically valued as a herbal remedy, it is also famous for being the primary food source for silkworms. Remarkably, mulberry contains 60 times more vitamin C than cabbage.

Kuzu
A perennial creeping plant from the legume family, Kuzu is known for its robust vitality. The roots are used in herbal medicine, particularly in kudzu root soup. When prepared as kudzu powder, it dissolves in hot water, creating a slightly sweet and thick consistency. Popular as a snack or recovery food, it is said that the plant's purple flowers can help cure hangovers.

Kuromoji
A unique Japanese herb, Kuromoji is less commonly used in herbal medicine. When a branch is broken or the bark is rubbed, it releases a refreshing, elegant scent. It is used to make high-quality toothpicks, tea, and essential oils for cosmetics.
