Kampo Medicine

Kampo ≠ Chinese Medicine

Kampo is not TCM
"Kampo", or ancient Chinese (medical) art if literally translated, is the Japan's assimilated version of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It was already organized as a system in the 16th century and has been refined in a Japanese tradition since. Its notable difference from TCM is the formulation in the unitary medical system with European Medicine. It is neither complementary nor alternate medicine in Japan.

Summary

  • Kampo Medicine
    Mixed recipes of crude drugs in Japanese distinct style, originally based on classic literature such as "Shokanron" and "Kinkiyoryaku".
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
    Mixed recipes of crude drugs in China. More flexible depending on patients' conditions.
  • Folk Medicine
    Usually single crude drugs used by tradition or hunch.

The Standards for Kampo Formulas

The New Standards for Kampo Formulas
In early 1970, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now Health, Labor and Welfare) summarized the byelaw published as "Guideline for General Kampo Formulas" (Edited by MHW and the committee in FPMAJ, Published by Jiho), which has been known as 'The 210 formulas' for 30 years. In 2008, it underwent a significant revision and 213 formulas are listed as "Standards of Approval for the Kampo Formulation". The difference is introduced here (in Japanese).
