| Remarks | The variants of Kihada, the original plant of Japanese huangbo, are Phellodendron amurense Rupr. var. sachalinense Fr. Schm. (Jap. name: Hirohanokihada), P. amurense Rupr. var. japonicum (Maxim.) Ohwi (Jap. name: Ōbanokihada, Kekihada) and P. amurense Rupr. var. lavallei (Dode) Sprague (Jap. name: Miyamakihada). In Japan it is also used as an ingredient for domestic medicines such as "Daranisuke" in Nara Prefecture or "Hyakusou" in Nagano Prefecture. In addition, there are variety of uses as the materials for berberine. They are cultivated in Niigata, Nagano, Nara, Kumamoto and other prefectures. The bark is removed and they are processed at the end of the rainy season. The share of Japanese Huangbo in total domestic consumption is about 20%. The remain is imported from China. In China, the bark of P. chinense is called "Chuanhuangbo" and the bark of P. amurense is called "Guanhuangbo". Generally, the content of alkaloids is higher if it is produced in southern districts. Kampo Medicine defines Huangbo as a drug for eliminating damp-heat of the lower body. | ||||||
