Abstract:
Ryo-kei-jutsu-kan-to was used to successfully treat two cases of overtraining syndrome with anemia. The first case was an 18-year-old woman. Several years ago, she was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, and she took Fe pills intermittently. After university graduation in 1996, she began to experience lightheadedness and general malaise concurrently with increased training of long-distance running. In September of the same year, her anemia worsened, and she was introduced to our department. Administration of Ryo-kei-jutsu-kan-to improved her symptoms, anemia and maximal oxygen uptake. The second case was a 19-year-old woman. She was an office worker and a member of her company's athletic club. She became easily fatigued, and she came to our clinic in December of 1996. Hochu-ekki-to was administered and her fatigue improved. But in the following year she began to feel depressed and lightheaded, and she became anemic after increased increasing her training of long-distance running. Administration of Ryo-kei-jutsu-kan-to improved her symptoms and anemia.
