Ryukakusan Direct Herbal Supplement Mint (16 sachets) (1 Box) (Solstice)

First got this in Japan - glad to be able to buy it here even though it's much more expensive. Good for first signs of sore throat but doesn't work as well if you're already hurting.

Bought originally in Japan while on a trip. Worked so well I was happy to be able to buy them back home!

Best against coughing and sore throat. Japanese usually dont cheat with medicines. They went through hell after 1945 nuclear attack so they know the real meaning of pain.

When I first ordered this Japanese cough powder, I felt it worked well. I even ordered the peach flavor which was cheaper. However, it isn't available now. The Blue box mint one somehow doesn't work as well. Did they change the formula? Or has my cough progressed more? It's rather expensive for 16 sachets. This is the second time I ordered it. I find it's still expensive but it works.

I had a cold with an itchy throat and some coughing while I was traveling in Japan. The pharmacist referred me to take the mint flavored Ryukakusan one packet up to six times a day. After I took three packets a day for two days, I was fully recovered. Now, whenever I felt the first symptom of a scratchy throat, I will take the powder immediately and it never d develop into a cold and I was fine. I will order more when I ran out and I will always bring them with me when I travel.
