| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Crude herbal medicine Kasseki is defined in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia as " Aluminum Silicate Hydrate with Silicon Dioxide is a mineral substance, mainly composed of aluminum silicate hydrate and silicon dioxide. It is not the same substance with the mineralogical talc." and its all supplies depend on foreign countries. In this research, we investigated resources that can be used as Kasseki in Japan. As a result, although there are no currently operating mines of Kasseki, there are potential resources for Kasseki. Moreover, we examined the pharmacological equivalence of Kasseki among with those used in Japan and China. It was found that Kasseki used in Japan can be distinguished from ‘Kasseki’ derived from talc used in China by existence of magnesium in decoction.
