Kampo- A slowly evolving Japanese version of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that was first brought to Japan in 608 AD.  Kampo medicine has changed in meaning from an all inclusive style of medicine using many modalities such as TCM does to herbology and herbal therapy in Japan.  Kampo medicine is now integrated into mainstream medicine in Japan with 72% of medical doctors there prescribing Kampo herbs. Unlike TCM that modifies herbal combinations depending on the patient and disease, Kampo medicine uses fixed combinations of herbs that are regulated like medicines in Japan. The Japanese pharmacopoeia lists 165 herbs that are used in Kamp medicine including Shitake and Reishi mushrooms.  In the US, Kampo is practiced by acupuncturists, naturopaths, and alternative medicine physicians and practitioners.
