1. When we established our company：Active substances were extracted from medical herbs produced in Nagano prefecture.
Apricot kernel water (antitussive, expectorant) was produced from apricots.
Scopolia extract in those days
Scopolia extract (stomachic) was extracted from Scopolia japonica.
Senega was cultivated. Senega syrup (antitussive・expectorant drug) was produced from senega roots.
Senega is a perennial plant from North America. Indian’s Seneca people used their roots as a first aid when bitten by Rattle Shake. The Seneca people live in a forested area near Rochester in the northwestern part of New York State on the east coast of the United States. It will rain throughout the year. Summer is mild. It is cold in winter, it is one of the major snowfall areas in North America and belongs to the climate of the wet continent. Therefore, the climate of Seneca residential area and Northern Nagano prefecture are similar.
