In Japan, Kampo has long played an important role in medical treatment where it has been used in various disease areas, including those with unmet medical needs.Kampo, defined as a "medicine of the individual," is thought to enhance the "natural healing power" inherent in human beings, and seeks to improve symptom, and restore psycho-physical balance by treating the mind and the body as one.Kampo, leveraging nature’s wisdom and gifts, has the potential to add value to the medical environment and patients, not only in Japan but also in the US.Despite the advancements in medical technology, we believe that there are still medical needs that may not be met by Western drugs alone and that there are areas in which Kampo may be particularly efficient. As stated in Tsumura’s global corporate mission, through Kampo products, we aim to improve our corporate value by bringing traditional Japanese medicines through the US regulatory approval process to provide new treatment options in the US, thus improving the well-being of patients, their families, caregivers, and each and every individual.
