Hachimijiogan (HJG) is a prescription found in a Chinese classic medical publication “Golden Mirror of Medicine,” written by Wu Qian, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty of ancient China. It has a wide range of uses and shows remarkable protective effects on chronic nephritis, arteriosclerosis, and diabetes. The latest Japanese research found that HJG can effectively delay the symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).
HJG is composed of eight kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, for which five natural drugs (Rehmannia Root, Cornus Fruit, Dioscorea Rhizome, Moutan Bark, and Cinnamon Bark) and their extracted ingredients have been reported to have efficacy against AD pathology.
