Abstract:
It is important to treat patients with spleen qi deficiency not only with formulations for their deficiency, but also with formulations to improve qi stagnation. Rikkunshito plus Cyperi Rhizoma, Amomi Semen and Agastache rugosa, which improve qi circulation, was effective in cases 1 and 2 herein. We examined when and how to prescribe kososan with formulations for spleen qi deficiency, with reference to kosharikkunshito. Kososan and rikkunshito were effective in cases 3 and 4. Based on rikkunshito indication, a patient with weaker constitution was prescribed shikunshito (case 8), a patient with diarrhea and vertigo was prescribed shinbuto (cases 5 and 6), and a patient with severe coldness was prescribed ninjinto (case 7). Kososan played a supplementary role in treatment, and can be prescribed with other medicines. Not only gastrointestinal symptoms, but also various other complaints were improved by adding kososan to prescriptions for spleen qi deficiency.
