Yokukansan (stress relief, nervous tension, depression) 24 sachets

What is Yokukansan for stress and depression? 

Yokukansan, a renowned traditional Eastern remedy, was initially documented in a medical manuscript dating back to 1556. Comprising precise quantities of natural constituents such as extract of Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa, Cnidium officinale Makino extract, dried peel of Citrus unshiu Marcowicz, extract of Uncaria rhynchophylla, and Atractylodes lancea extract, among others, Yokukansan manifests neuroprotective, stress-alleviating, neuroplasticity-promoting, and dopaminergic effects.

Yokukansan finds utility in addressing conditions like neurosis, insomnia, and nocturnal infant distress. It proves effective in mitigating irritability, the syndrome of ill-temper, and drowsiness. Yokukansan is also a recommended option for women experiencing irritability and premenstrual syndrome. Additionally, this medicinal remedy enhances cerebral blood circulation, leading to improvements in memory and cognitive function. Multiple research studies have further substantiated Yokukansan's efficacy in combatting Alzheimer's disease and early-stage dementia. It ameliorates both psychological and behavioral symptoms, diminishing the risk of dementia-related psychosis, enhancing patients' quality of life, and alleviating the burden on caregivers.
