Abstract:
We report a case of intractable diarrhea successfully treated with daikenchuto. The patient was a 60-year-old female. She had suffered from diarrhea in spite of being prescribed Shimbuto, Kanzoshashinto, Shigyakuto and so on. After daikenchuto was administered her intractable diarrhea improved. However, she had not symptoms such as abdominal pain, coldness in the abdomen and abdominal movement disorder that often appear in daikenchuto-syo. We consider daikenchuto may be effective not only for diarrhea but also constipation in yin-syndrome and hypofunction when intestinal juice and gas are stagnated.
