Product Summary
TSUMURA 107 Goshajinkigan is a Japanese Kampo medicine based on TSUMURA 007 Hachimijiogan, with the addition of Achyranthis Radix (Goshitsu) and Plantaginis Semen (Shazenshi).
It is used for people with low physical strength who tire easily and tend to feel cold from the waist down, to help relieve symptoms such as numbness, pain in the lower back and legs, swelling, and urinary problems. Hachimijiogan and Goshajinkigan are commonly used in elderly patients.
Goshajinkigan is often prescribed for frequent urination in the elderly (especially nighttime urination), lower back pain, leg pain, and numbness caused by nerve disorders associated with diabetes—symptoms that are often related to aging.

It is generally recommended for people who tire easily, have cold hands and feet, and experience either decreased or increased urine output, sometimes accompanied by thirst.
