Among 210 medicinal prescriptions used in present-day Japan, the clinical uses and the acute, chronic and mutagenic toxicity study of 16 Kampo (Japanese herbal) medicines are summarized. These Kampo medicines are classified into two categories; eight prescriptions containing Bupleurum root (Bupleurum falcatum L.) such as Sho-saiko-to and Saiko-keishi-to, and eight prescriptions not containing Bupleurum root such as Juzen-taiho-to and Ninjin-yoei-to. Studies of some potential interaction between herbal medicine and western drugs are also described.
