Kanpo Herbs

Kanpo Herbs are unique collectible Relics in Tomb Raider (2013). There are three Kanpo Herbs in the game.

Yagen
''A kind of mortar and pestle. Probably used for preparing medicinal herbs.''

Further Examining
''There are small bone fragments in the mortar well. Hopefully animal bones...''

Medicinal Herb Vial
''Used in traditional Japanese herbal medicine, or kanpo. It looks like this vial has been sealed for many years.''

Further Examining
These are probably Maitake mushrooms, used to boost the immune system.

Dried Gobo Root
''It's Burdock. A root traditionally used in kanpo to fight inflammation.''
