This formula was studied recently by university researchers in Japan. This study mimicked modern research in that it was designed as double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
The most surprising aspect of this study is that the researchers only included “Kikyo” (delicate, easily fatigable, or hypersensitive) constitution patients. Researchers are not often practitioners and rarely even know about constitutions (or “body types” as we say here.) So that’s good news. They also used the exact same term that we use at Eagle Herbs (“delicate”) which is kind of neat.
This study sought to find out if this formula could help benefit those patients with atopic dermatitis.
After taking this formula for 24-weeks, the study didn’t find that the skin cleared up any better than with the placebo (fake medicine), but they did note that the amount of topical ointments these patients used decreased dramatically.
