Two Cases with Foreign Body Sensation of the Throat Treated with Ryokeijutsukanto and Goshuyuto / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

The patients with foreign body sensation in the throat often visit the hospital. However, they have no problem in Western medicine and may be prescribed with anxiolytics. In Kampo medicine, hangekobokuto is effective in most cases for the symptom of qi stagnation. This time, we report that 2 cases, in which hangekobokuto was ineffective, responded to the combination of ryokeijutsukanto and goshuyuto. The combination, which is a mixture of hontonto (Zhouhou fang), bukuryo, jutsu, and taiso, excluding hange, was effective in these 2 cases as running piglet.
