Research Abstract

In Japan, now we use many kinds of medicines for common cold, but there were few medicines for common cold before 20th century. The medicine for common cold is an indicator of modernization of Japan, because the medicine for common cold was accepted as a new Western culture in Meiji era.
Japanese used many kinds of medicine for the eyes, teeth, heart, stomach, bowels, and pains of shoulders and waist before 20th century. Japanese also used many kinds of medicine for children and women. These medicines were made by traditional materials producted in Japan, China, and Korea (Chinese medicine, etc.).
In early 20th century, the new Western medicines had used for the cure of common cold in Yamato region, and those medicines spread over Japan after the middle of 20th century.
