Kigusuri

Japanese: きぐすり
Kigusuri

…The term “herbal medicine” first appeared in 1880 when Gendō Ooi translated the German word Pharmakognosie as “pharmacognosy.” The word “kigusuri” existed in ancient times, and the word “honshogaku” was used to refer to the study of Japanese and Chinese medicines, but this word was newly created to mean that it was treated as a field of modern science. The word “pharmacognosy” was first used in the title of a paper by Seydler in 1815, and in 1832, the name was used in TWC Martius’s “Grundriss der Pharmakognosie des Pflanzenreiches” (The Foundations of Pharmacognosy), and has remained in use to this day. …
