Healing Herb Rediscovered: Tsubokusa Balm in EdoWonderland Onsen Box
In the days of Edo, nature was not just scenery — it was medicine. Among the rare herbs treasured in those times, Tsubokusa (Gotu Kola) held a special place: it grew only in pure spring waters, hidden among moss-covered rocks and glistening rivulets. Today, that ancient wisdom is brought into the modern world through our Tsubokusa Balm — part of the EdoWonderland Onsen Box.
A Timeless Healing Herb
Grown organically on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa, our Tsubokusa comes from a farm rooted in Ayurveda and southern island tradition. Once regarded as a tonic for body and mind, this herb is now prized in skincare for its remarkable properties: it strengthens the skin’s barrier, calms inflammation, and supports collagen synthesis and elasticity.
Why It Works
•Organic Tsubokusa (Gotu Kola): harvested in pure island springs, its extract delivers botanical strength.
•Nourishing Blend: camellia oil, sesame oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and beeswax come together to soothe and protect dry or sensitive skin.
•Textured for Modern Life: the balm glides smoothly, melts gently into skin, and transforms into a protective veil — marrying Edo-era botanical wisdom with today’s skincare sensibility.
A Ritual of Calm
Imagine the quiet of a forest stream in the early morning, the soft hum of a breeze through cedar. That is the feeling when you apply this balm: a return to balance.
Gently pat a small amount onto hands, lips, or any area that feels dry or tight. Allow the rich botanical oils and herb extract to absorb, leaving your skin feeling supple and soothed.
