Abstract:
Keishi-ka-ogi-to or Keishi-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to was administered to two patients with bronchia asthma. Patient 1 was a 52-year-old woman, and patient 2 was a 40-year-old man. In both cases, asthma attacks began in adulthood and occurred in any season. According to the criterion of asthma severity established by the Japanese Society of Allergology, patient 1 was severe and patient 2 was moderate. Patient 1 was in the condition of hypofunctioning (Kyo-Sho), and her asthmatic state was improved with administration of the Kampo extract, Keishi-ka-ogi-to, which is a kind of Ho-zai. Patient 2 was a case of psycho-modified asthma and his asthmatic state was improved with administration of the Kampo extract, Keishi-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to, which is a kind of tranquilizer (An-shin-zai).
