Two Cases Successfully Treated with Tsumyakushigyakuto of Aconite Root Instead of Processed Aconite Root / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

We report two cases successfully treated with tsumyakushigyakuto containing aconite root (<i>uzu</i>), instead of processed aconite root (<i>bushi</i>). The first case was a 33-year-old female. She had suffered from itching rashes in spite of being prescribed tsumyakushigyakuto with processed aconite root. Because she was in an extreme cold state, we changed the processed aconite root in her tsumyakushigyakuto to aconite root. Her itching rashes subsequently improved. The second case was a 42-year-old male. He had suffered from watery diarrhea and general fatigue in spite of being prescribed tsumyakushigyakuto with processed aconite root. Because he was in an extreme cold state, we changed the processed aconite root in his tsumyakushigyakuto to aconite root, and his watery diarrhea and general fatigue improved.We consider that using tsumyakushigyakuto with aconite root may be more effective than using it with processed aconite root in an extreme cold state.
