Keishinjinto granules for delicate gastrointestinal tract (lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating)

What are Keishinjinto granules for delicate gastrointestinal tract (lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating)?

Keishinjinto is a traditional Kampo herbal medicine with a storied history, first mentioned in the ancient Chinese medical text, "Shanghan Lun" (Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases), written before 220 AD. This remedy has been traditionally used to treat individuals with delicate constitutions who are easily fatigued, prone to cold, and suffer from various gastrointestinal issues.

Benefits and Uses of Keishinjinto

Keishinjinto is particularly effective for managing symptoms such as:

• Lack of appetite
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Persistent bloating
• Non-functioning stomach

Modern Applications

In contemporary Japan, Keishinjinto extract is widely used to treat chronic gastroenteritis, gastritis, and gastric atony. Research has shown that Keishinjinto extract indirectly stimulates capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerves, which improves gastrointestinal mucosal blood flow. This, in turn, affects intestinal secretion and motility through neuronal reflexes.

Scientific Evidence

A study by Y. Sato and F. Katagiri, published in the Journal of Health Science in 2007, explored the effects of a single treatment with Keishinjinto on plasma levels of gut-regulatory peptides in healthy subjects. The findings, published in the Journal of Health Science (2007, 53(2), pp. 220-225), demonstrated that Keishinjinto can significantly enhance gastrointestinal function and alleviate related symptoms.

Keishinjinto remains a valuable herbal medicine for those suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort. Its historical roots and modern scientific validation underscore its effectiveness in promoting digestive health and overall well-being.
