Prescription explanation
This Kampo medicine is used for neurogenic gastritis and chronic gastritis accompanied by stomach pain and indigestion. It is suitable for those who originally have a weak stomach and intestines.

Anchusan improves neurogenic gastritis and chronic gastritis accompanied by stomach pain and indigestion by warming the chilled stomach.
