Abstract:
It is reported that the administration of Seinetsu-hoketsu-to has been effective in four cases of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The literature states that Seinetsu-hoketsu-to is indicated for “blood deficiency and the combination of pathogenic dryness and heat in blood which causes ulceration or erosion with scaling pain in the tongue and oral mucosa, and its healing is often prolonged.” All four cases the patients are female. Their aphthous stomatitis is often exacerbated during pregnancy, childbirth, and/or each menstruation. In one case aphthous stomatitis reoccurred after the remission of general symptoms due to high fever and inflammation in the acute phase of Beçhet disease. The conclusion is that Seinetsu-hoketsu-to would be useful to patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis in conditions where blood deficiency is worsening.
