Beginning with the primary ingredient; Japanese mugwort, a perennial related to the chrysanthemum family, which has a unique and rich nutrient profile. Kobayashi-Rouho gather mugwort from Japanese mountainous regions of Goushuu's Mount Ibiki, Ecchuu, and Echigo where the mugwort plant thrives beyond compare with any other environment.
