(補中益気湯)
A tonic formula for fatigue, low energy, and weakened constitution. Strengthens digestive function and overall vitality.
Hochuekkito (HET), Bu-Zhong-Yi-Qi-Tang in traditional Chinese medicine, TCN), consists of a blend of 10 different medicinal herbs. Its primary components include:
- Astragalus Root (Astragali radix)
- Ginseng (Ginseng radix)
- Licorice (Glycyrrhizae radix)
- Angelica Root (Angelicae radix)
- Citrus Unshiu Peel
When lymphocytes from spleen, peripheral blood and Payer’s patches were investigated for cytokines production, it was found that the IFN-y (Interferon-gamma) secretion from the lymphocytes was increased as well as the expression of the L-selection gene by HET.
IFN-y is a crucial pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by T-cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells to activate immune cells and inhibit pathogen reproduction in response to viruses or infections.
