Effects of herbal formula on allergies
The effects of Hochu-ekki-to in patients with atopic dermatitis resistant to conventional treatment.
Study implies potential for allergies
We investigated the effects of Hochu-ekki-to, a traditional Japanese herbal formula that includes astragalus root, on patients struggling with atopic dermatitis who were resistant to conventional treatments.

The treatment consisted of administering this herbal formula for three months, during which we monitored changes in specific markers associated with allergies, namely serum IgE levels and eosinophils, which are key indicators of allergic responses.

Following the treatment, we observed a statistically significant reduction in eosinophil counts, suggesting that Hochu-ekki-to may help alleviate some allergy-related symptoms. Additionally, serum IgE levels showed a slight tendency to decrease, which hints at a potential positive effect on allergies.

It’s important to note that while these findings are promising, the multi-ingredient nature of Hochu-ekki-to makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly how much astragalus root contributes to the overall efficacy. Thus, while we found improvements, it’s challenging to isolate the effects of each ingredient, including the astragalus root.

Did not work for me
Unfortunately, this product did not help with my multiple allergies. I’ve had chronic allergic reactions while using this product and have been very disappointed. It triggered my allergies instead of alleviating them.
