Abstract:
We gave Borei-takusya-san to six patients with intractable edema under the waist. This treatment cured three of the six. Two of the cured patients had Ki-deficiency or Yang-Ki-deficiency in the kidneys. In these cases, we first intensified Ki in the kidneys and improved their conditions to Yin-disease, first stage. We noticed improvement of their subjective symptoms and objective signs after we gave them Borei-takusya-san in combination with their prescriptions. All of the ineffective cases presented some conditions of hypo-tonus or hypo-reactivity.
With reference to many ancient medical books and our own experience we studied the use of Borei-takusyasan. It applies to patients (1) with oliguria, (2) with edema under the waist, (3) without Ki deficiency and Yang-Ki-deficiency in the kidneys and with (4) more reactive stage than Yang-disease, second stage and Ki between excess and deficiency. (5) If they had Ki-deficiency or Yang-Ki-deficiency in the kidneys, we should first replenish with Ki sufficiently, and make out prescriptions for the patients.
We consider that Borei-takusya-san is capable of wide application to the patients with edema under the waist, following our indications.
