Women’s Health
Kampo in Japan belongs to a herbal tradition, and a revived medicine since 1930s and it is currently an integral part of Japan’s official Westernized medical system.
We have designed a Kampo based telehealth approach to women’s menstrual related symptoms. Kampo is well-suited for treatment of premenstrual symptoms and researched in Japan under the natural biomedicine, and deserves the attention of Western population for three reasons:
A patient-centred approach to collect subjective and culture-bound symptoms that are often ignored by Western medicine;
Kampo herbal formulas are evidence-based; we source the products from suppliers with pure and of high quality;
We put efforts in understanding the western diagnosis and conditions, bridging the west and east.
Kampo medicine is a traditional herbal medicine widely used in Japan for women who suffers premenstrual symptoms such as and not limited to:
Menstruation cycle advanced, delayed or varies
Menstrual pain debilitating with more and more worsening symptoms
Menstrual bleeding excessive to the point of anaemia and concerning severe iron deficiency may change one’s life course
Western conditions (dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometriosis, PCOS, ovarian cysts, etc) are diagnosed and there’s no cure, surgery options are discussed and on the table.
Women’s health is based on female’s unique period & cycle, and her body going through different life stages of puberty, fertility, child-birth, postpartum recovery, and menopause.
