AYURMASTER MUYU-JU
MUYU-JU (herbal drink)
01 The name
The tree
without sorrow.
MUYU-JU takes its name from its main herb, Saraca asoca, known in Japanese as muyuju (無憂樹) — “the tree without sorrow.”
Muyuju is one of the three sacred trees of Buddhism, said to have stood where the Buddha was born. In India it has long been loved as a tree that grants a maiden’s wishes of love, and as a “tree of happiness” linked to childbirth, birth and marriage — a tree that has stayed close to women through the milestones of their lives.

02 Ayurveda and women
Honoring each milestone
of a woman’s life.
Ayurveda, handed down in India since ancient times, has regarded the milestones of a woman’s life — her first period, childbirth and menopause — as important turning points for body and mind, and has passed down wisdom on how to live through each stage.
- Stay warmEnjoy warm food while it is still warm.
- Slow down during your cycleTake it easy and rest during your monthly cycle.

04 The origin of the formula
A formula handed down
from the Ayurvedic classics.
MUYU-JU began with a formula from the Ayurvedic classics centered on ashoka (muyuju). Building on this formula, the combination of herbs was devised by Dr. Mohammad Nazir Hossain.
Dr. Hossain was born into a family of Ayurvedic physicians going back 500 years. He is an Ayurvedic physician himself, and also a scientist who earned his doctorate (Ph.D. in science) at the Graduate School of Yokohama City University. He now serves as a professor at a university in Bangladesh.
Dr. Mohammad Nazir Hossain (Ayurvedic physician, university professor)
“A woman’s smile brightens her family and society.
Women staying well is one step toward world peace.”
Developers Dai Ayusawa (Professor Emeritus, Yokohama City University) / Dr. Mohammad Nazir Hossain
Many women struggle with the changes that come with age, yet there are still few things they can do for themselves in daily life. We hope MUYU-JU can be a glass that stays by your side each day.
That formula was examined and refined again and again at the Longevity Science Laboratory of Yokohama City University, and MUYU-JU was born.
