ABSTRACT
Objective:
To examine how to treat patients suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) combined with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) with herbal medicines.Methods:
The patient was diagnosed as having blood stagnation (血瘀), yang deficiency (陽虚) and spleen qi deficiency (脾気虚) based on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory. Hoyokangoto which had been applied to patients with hemiplegia for a long time in China, was prescribed with cinnamon and processed aconite root. For her persistent diarrhea, ogikenchuto was administered.Results:
Headache, sense of exhaustion, insomnia, and various symptoms debasing her quality of life (QOL) were shortly decreased, which made her lead a normal life.Discussion:
The administration of hoyokangoto combined with cinnamon and processed aconite root added qi (気), removed blood stagnation and accelerated blood circulation and collateral channels, implying that elimination is the first (先瀉). The administration of ogikenchuto for diarrhea (spleen qi deficiency) means that tonic is the second (後補), which improved her symptoms of EHS combined with MCS. Herbal medicines may be one of the choices for treating degraded QOL of patients with EHS and/or MCS.
