Kokando Chinese herbal medicine for constipation

Features

Kokando Kampo Laxative has the main ingredient of the Kampo prescription "Dahuang-kanzo-to", which combines the herbal medicine daio and licorice, and is listed in the "Jingui Yaolue" (The Golden Chamber Guide), and has been widely used as a laxative since ancient times. The licorice controls the action of daio and regulates the activity of the large intestine, so if you take it before going to bed, you can expect a gentle bowel movement the next morning.
