Application of Keishikaryojutsubuto for Extraarticular Symptoms / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

It is assumed that keishikaryojutsubuto was first described in the Ho-ki medical text, and it has been used to target neuralgia and the arthritic pain. We experienced cases of Crohn's disease, endometriosis, post-operative rectal carcinoma, acute gastroenteritis and Meniere's disease successfully treated with keishikaryojutsubuto. When this formulation is administered, it might be important to keep in mind the definition of prescriptions for keishikashakuyakuto and shimbuto, or ryokeijutsukanto, as described in the Kokan-igaku text. In addition, this formulation might be applicable to various other diseases.
