KANPO WHAT
IS IT? Kanpo is the Japanese version of oriental herbal medicine. It has the convenience of ready prepared remedies - no roots and leaves to boil up as in Chinese medicine, just convenient pills or powders. The therapist treats the individual, not the disease – a thorough case history is taken, he may look at your tongue and take your pulse before prescribing the remedy most suitable for you. WHAT
CAN IT HELP? Colds,
‘flu, bronchitis, asthma, weak digestion, thyroid problems, ME,
insomnia, skin disorders, autoimmune problems (eg lupus,
rheumatoid), period problems. FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: I’ve heard that the concentration of active ingredients in herbal medicines is variable. Is this true of Kanpo? A: No – the advantage of prepared herb extracts is that they are checked for purity and concentration. Q: Can I take Kanpo preparations as well as medicine my doctor has prescribed? A:
This depends on the medicines involved – some may exaggerate or
counteract one another’s effects. Your
therapist is George Askounis.
