An herbal medicine for people whose nose still feels blocked even after blowing it—often due to swelling inside the nasal cavity. The Kampo formula Shoseiryuto helps calm inflammation and swelling deep in the nose while improving the underlying nasal “puffiness” that can make congestion keep coming back.

Excipients: CMC-Ca, aluminum/magnesium hydroxide, magnesium aluminosilicate, magnesium stearate, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, cellulose
