Gosha-Jinki-Gan is a traditional Japanese herbal blend that is believed to act on the nerves around the bladder, decreasing the urge and frequency to urinate.

While research 🧐 suggests Gosha-jinki-gan (GJG) may have beneficial effects on bladder overactivity in rats 🐀 with Cyclophosphamide CYP-induced cystitis and is used in Japan 🇯🇵 for overactive bladder and nocturia, there’s limited evidence specifically linking GJG to the treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC) in humans. Cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis is a commonly used experimental model to explore pain and inflammation associated with cystitis. It is characterized by mild inflammatory infiltration and increased proinflammatory cytokine gene expression in bladder tissue.

Studies suggest GJG may have an inhibitory 🛑 effect on bladder contractility, potentially reducing urinary urgency and frequency.
