Origin of Ge Gen Tang

Ge Gen Tang (葛根湯) is one of the traditional Chinese herbal remedies with its origins dating back to ancient China, possibly as far as ancient times. This ancient elixir was first documented in a Chinese medical text known as the 'Shang Han Lun.'

It was created by Zhang Zhongjing (張仲景), a physician during the Eastern Han Dynasty. During this period, China experienced economic prosperity and cultural flourishing, but it also faced frequent disease outbreaks.

Zhang Zhongjing, in response to the diseases afflicting people during that era, developed Ge Gen Tang based on his clinical experience and research findings. This herbal remedy proved highly effective, particularly in addressing symptoms like colds, influenza, and fever.

 

Origin of the Name "Ge Gen Tang"

The name "Ge Gen Tang" is derived from its main components. "Ge" refers to kudzu root, "Gen" points to licorice root, and "Tang" signifies a decoction or brewed herbal remedy. These components combine harmoniously to produce the unique therapeutic effects of Ge Gen Tang.

Improve sleep quality

If you suffer from headaches, back pain, or stiffness caused by the cold, I've heard that drinking Kakkonto every day can be effective. So, I drink it often, if not every day. I don't take it on an empty stomach; instead, I usually dissolve it in hot water, not tea, at night before going to bed, and it tastes pretty good. It warms you up and helps you sleep better.
