Saikokeishito extract 1 g for pancreas, stomach and intestines inflammation

What is Saikokeishito extract 1 g for pancreas, stomach and intestines inflammation?

Saikokeishito extract, a traditional herbal medicine originating in China over two millennia ago, has found its way into modern Japanese medicine through the ages. Its historical documentation can be traced back to ancient medical treatises like the Shanghan Lun ("Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases" before 220 AD) and the Jingui Yaolue ("Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet" between 170-219 AD). This time-honored remedy combines a variety of potent botanical extracts, including Bupleurum Root, Pinellia Tuber, Cinnamon Bark, Peony Root, Scutellaria Root, Ginseng, Jujube, Glycyrrhiza, and Ginger.

Though steeped in history, Saikokeishito extract has not lost its relevance and continues to be actively researched using modern scientific methods. Japanese researchers, like those from Sasebo Saisei Hospital, have extensively studied its effects and discovered remarkable benefits, particularly when treating acute pancreatitis. The addition of Saikokeishito extract to the treatment regimen has shown to substantially improve inflammation symptoms, leading to a reduced reliance on opioids for pain management in a short period.

This herbal elixir proves to be an effective remedy for various symptoms, such as epigastric pain, fatigue, subfebrile temperature, headache, nausea, and chills associated with pancreas, stomach, or intestinal inflammation. It also demonstrates its efficacy in alleviating discomfort during the later stages of a common cold. What's more, Saikokeishito extract is versatile and suitable for both adults and children, although pediatric patients require the supervision of their attending physician.

Notably, one of the key advantages of Saikokeishito extract is its safety profile, as it is generally well-tolerated and devoid of significant side effects. However, it's crucial to be cautious with patients who have lactose intolerance since the extract contains lactose as an additional ingredient.
