The Chinese herbs in Kouchin include jinko (agarwood) to calm the mind, koboku (magnolia bark) to warm the body, and senkyu (cnidium rhizome) combined with kanzo (liquorice) for healthy skin. The fragrant aroma helps to circulate the chi and relieve stagnation. This mix is recommended for relieving anxiety and irritability.

This belief in the elements of earth, fire, wood, water, and metal was incorporated into Yin-Yang Tao and Feng Shui philosophy.
