ABSTRACT
Poor eating is a life-threatening condition in senior citizens. Herein, we report a case of poor eating due to stomach yin deficiency (wei yin xu), which was successfully treated with bakumondoto. The patient was a 91-year-old woman who expected treatment for her poor food intake. She was diagnosed as poor eating with stomach yin deficiency and was administered with bakumondoto, which increased her food intake and weight. To treat poor eating with Kampo medicine, rikkunshito and various other Kampo drugs are commonly used. In this case, bakumondoto, which is usually used for respiratory diseases such as dry cough, was effective. Bakumondoto is useful for stomach yin deficiency of poor eating.
