Abstract:
1) Although many people all over the world are aware of traditional Chinese medicine, kampo medicine is not as well known. Kampo, traditional Japanese herbal medicine, is an integral part of medical practice in Japan and deserves greater attention. 2) In response to increasing interest in kampo we have created a web-based virtual class as a reliable source for information about kampo medicine. This virtual class incorporates the latest data on kampo and numerous features to pro- mote a basic understanding of kampo. 3) Through this website and virtual class for health professionals, knowledge of the reliability, usefulness, and safety of kampo will be shared with the world.
