Empress "Komyo" was known not only for her great empathy with the less fortunate, but also for the beauty of her complexion, which she maintained thanks to the benefits of plants from the Japanese pharmacopoeia, including Shiso.
To preserve their smooth skin and perfect white complexion, Japanese women use ointments based on ingredients from the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, as well as manual massages derived from Shiatsu, also known as "Ko Bi Do" or "beauty method" in Japanese, combining stimulation of vital points and deep, structuring kneading for a genuine natural face-lift.
