RESUMO
The patient was a 54 year-old woman who suffered from systemic pain and augmented coldness since receiving trauma injury at her office about 1 year previously. She was diagnosed as yang-deficiency and accumulation of water caused by kidney impairment induced by psychological trauma. The combination of keishikaryojutsubuto with added hachimijiogan was effective for her symptoms. The author considers this benefit was mainly caused by the efficacy of keishikaryojutsubuto to reinforce the <i>ki </i>of kidney, and eliminate accumulation of <i>sui</i>.
RESUMO
It is assumed that keishikaryojutsubuto was first described in the Ho-ki medical text, and it has been used to target neuralgia and the arthritic pain. We experienced cases of Crohn's disease, endometriosis, post-operative rectal carcinoma, acute gastroenteritis and Meniere's disease successfully treated with keishikaryojutsubuto. When this formulation is administered, it might be important to keep in mind the definition of prescriptions for keishikashakuyakuto and shimbuto, or ryokeijutsukanto, as described in the Kokan-igaku text. In addition, this formulation might be applicable to various other diseases.
