ABSTRACT
We present 16 cases effectively treated using the traditional Japanese herbal formulation tokishakuyakusan with the crude extract jio (tokishakuyakusan and shimotsuto). All patients were women with a median age of 35.5 years (range 22-62 years). Cases included infertility (n = 5), dermatological disease (n = 5), gynecological disease (n = 2), excessive sensitivity to cold (n = 2), mental nerve paresthesia (n = 1), and general fatigue (n = 1). All patients had sho for tokishakuyakusan and high degree of ketsu deficiency. All patients with infertility became pregnant within one year. The symptom severity of other patients decreased to less than half compared with their initial visit. Cases of palmoplantar pustulosis and chronic eczema improved without topical corticosteroids. Our results suggest that tokishakuyakusan with jio is a suitable treatment for patients who have sho for tokishakuyakusan and high degree of ketsu deficiency.
