Mao-to
Mao-to is a traditional Japanese herbal formula used in Kampo medicine. It originates in ancient China derived from the medicine mahuang tang. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections and influenza, and has been included in Japan's national health insurance system for over four decades. Mao-to consists of four herbal ingredients—the stem of Chinese ephedra, the kernel of an apricot species, the bark of Chinese cassia and licorice root—and is typically prepared as a hot-water extract.
