Clinical Indications of Jiinshihoto / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

The source of Jiinshihoto, which has been used for patients troubled by chronic cough with Ki obstruction, is Wanbinhuichun. We report on 8 cases with various chronic inflammatory diseases in the airway successfully treated with Jiinshihoto. They had similar symptoms, i. e., chronic coughing both dry and moist, and the abnormal sensations in the throat. Our experience with these cases suggests that tympanitic sound on right half side of the abdomen increase the accuracy of Jiinshihoto usage.
