Ryukakusan Direct Herbal Supplement Mint (16 sachets) (1 Box) (Solstice)

I have been coughing for over a year, on and off (I know it’s crazy). Met with dozens of doctors, both western and Chinese, I even tried acupuncture at one point! Tried all OTC medicines you could think of (cough syrup, cough drops, acid reflux meds, nasacort... you name it), nothing helped!!!I almost gave up until it hit me the other day that my friend gave me a pack of Ryukakusan from Japan. Since that one expired I tried searching on amazon, and found it!! God how soothing it was the first time I tried. I am sure it’s gonna stop me from coughing soon...Btw it doesn’t taste good, mint + some herbs so it’s a little bitter. But if it helps my cough, I don’t care how it tastes....

I take one immediately at the onset of an inkling of a sore throat. It immediately gives temporary relief of the sore throat. My sore throat does not materialize into a full blown cold. Not sure if it's related, but in past years, my sore throat typically turns into a cold or flu.

When I first ordered this Japanese cough powder, I felt it worked well. I even ordered the peach flavor which was cheaper. However, it isn't available now. The Blue box mint one somehow doesn't work as well. Did they change the formula? Or has my cough progressed more? It's rather expensive for 16 sachets. This is the second time I ordered it. I find it's still expensive but it works.

I have used this in Japan many years ago. This is easier to swallow because of the mint flavor.It works to reduce and control the cough.

I had a cold with an itchy throat and some coughing while I was traveling in Japan. The pharmacist referred me to take the mint flavored Ryukakusan one packet up to six times a day. After I took three packets a day for two days, I was fully recovered. Now, whenever I felt the first symptom of a scratchy throat, I will take the powder immediately and it never d develop into a cold and I was fine.I will order more when I ran out and I will always bring them with me when I travel.

Not very powerful

Discovered this project on a recent trip to Japan and was very happy to find it on Amazon. Really helps control dry cough and minor sore throat.

For me, this is very good, my throat savior, coughing for a week, can not sleep well every night, but this medicine can make my throat relieved.
