ABSTRACT
A 78-year-old female patinet complained of chronic nasal obstruction. The purulent and occasionally blood-streaked nasal discharge continued for three years. Kakkon-to-ka-senkyushin-i was administered according to the traditional Chinese medical diagnosis and acupuncture was applied bilaterally to Rekketsu (L7) and Geiko (LI20) once a week, After this combination therapy involving administration of Kampo extract and acupunctute was continued for seven months her clinical complaint had disappeared completely.<br>This case demonstrated the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in mountainous rural areas where commuting to a otorhinolaryngologist is not feasible.
