After the war, Jusha II, who had been discharged from military service, put up the Tsumura Juntendo signboard again in bomb-raid-devastated Nihonbashi.
It was a new start amid shortages of raw materials, supplies, energy, and everything else. Still, Jusha II supported the company with his own money and completed the construction of a new head office building in Nihonbashi in 1952.
In 1954, Tsumura Juntendo launched L’amour, a new women's medicine that combined an ancient traditional remedy with new technology. In the 1960s, sales of the bath salt Bathclin soared. Following the success of Bathclin, Juntendo built a new plant in Shizuoka to expand its production organization.
Prior to this, in 1957, Juntendo had opened a Kampo clinic on the first floor of its head office building to promote the resurgence of Kampo medicine.
