Japanese Medicinal Incense: Cold & Flu, Hay Fever, Dieting, Insomnia Treatment
- Kampo incense to help aid in your recovery
- Japanese incense made in Awaji Island
Kampo is the ancient art and practice of natural medicine using a combination of Asian herbs and roots. This incense is made using prescriptions of Kampo ingredients that have been kneaded in the incense along with the essential oils that match the symptoms. It is not a medicine, but it helps to improve the condition. In addition to the deep scent of Kampo, you can expect an aromatherapy effect from the natural oil. The scent alone will not cure you but it will aid in relaxation which helps your body to rest and recover.

Incense came to Japan with Buddhism from China. After arriving in Japan and being used in ceremonies, the experience of scent took on new forms. Samurai warriors would prepare for battle by purifying their minds and bodies with the incense and developed an appreciation for its fragrances. For nobility at court, there was a game they enjoyed where they would smell incense and guess what ingredients it was made from. Incense also became a way to perfume not only your environment, but used as a perfume for clothes and hair. Eventually incense became accessible to other classes, while always being revered as something extremely precious. This developed into an incense-smelling ceremony called Kodo or, “The Way of Fragrance”.
We still enjoy incense in this way. You You Ang comes from the Japanese words, “youyou-jiteki” which means to act naturally without any restraints and to live with a relaxed feeling. It is for those who wish to take little of time to enjoy a moment with yourself, or to share with loved ones, with the belief that incense, “Makes time to clean your heart”.
You You Ang’s incense continues to be produced in the birthplace of incense, Awaji Island.
