After the Summer Solstice, the hottest season of the year officially begins. Prolonged high temperatures weaken the body's resistance and tolerance. Combined with the habit of cooling off with air conditioning and cold drinks, people become highly susceptible to cold pathogens, leading to symptoms like sore throats, coughing, and phlegm. In response, Ryukakusan, Japan's century-old pharmaceutical company, offers this gentle reminder:Pay extra attention to throat health during hot weather. Consider taking ginger-based products to dispel cold and "nourish your voice."
In China, the folk saying goes: "Eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor's prescription." From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, ginger is pungent and warm in nature, affecting the lung, spleen, and stomach meridians. It helps dispel external pathogens and cold, warm the middle burner to stop vomiting, and warm the lungs to relieve coughing.During the hot summer months, people often consume cooling foods, which can lead to an excess of cold energy in the spleen and stomach. Products containing ginger help expel internal cold and strengthen the body.
Take Ryukakusan Honey Lemon Ginger Flavor Herbal Throat Lozenges as an example. This product specifically incorporates Japanese ginger extract to warm the lungs and suppress coughs, earning it the reputation as the "most suitable throat care product for summer."
Beyond ginger extract, its key ingredients include rich amounts of Ryukakusan herbal powder and refreshing herbal extracts like balloon flower root, licorice, and honeysuckle—all renowned for soothing and protecting the throat.The herbal ingredients offer a mild, non-irritating taste. Simultaneously, the addition of high-quality honey and lemon extract with rich flavor enhances the lozenges' palatability, creating a sweet and tangy taste.
Ryukakusan originated in Japan's Edo period as the official medicine for the feudal lord of Akita Domain. After over 200 years of development, it has evolved into a modern pharmaceutical company specializing in throat health care. Its portfolio includes a diverse range of products targeting various throat conditions, such as throat medicines, herbal throat lozenges, sugar-free herbal throat tablets, and medication-swallowing-aid jellies.
As one of Ryukakusan's most popular products, the Honey Lemon Ginger Flavored Herbal Throat Lozenges are now available at Ryukakusan's official flagship stores on e-commerce platforms like Tmall, JD.com, Xiaohongshu, and Kaola, as well as offline retailers including 7-Eleven, BingoBox, Lawson, Watsons, Hema Fresh, and Ole.
