ABSTRACT
The number of patients with taste disorder and halitosis has recently increased in Japan. Some of these patients have no abnormalities identified in blood tests and no apparent dental problems, so they are diagnosed with unidentified complaints. In this paper, we report 2 patients who were diagnosed with psychogenic taste disorder and pseudohalitosis. Kampo medical examination found their symptoms to be related to qi deficiency. They were prescribed 5g of hochuekkito extract per day, and their symptoms were relieved. These results suggest that hochuekkito is effective against unidentified complaints such as psychogenic taste disorder and pseudohalitosis.
