Abstract:
About half of Japanese women have feelings of coldness, but there is no drug for their treatment in modern medicine. Here, we report 3 cases of dizziness with feelings of coldness effectively treated with tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto. The first case was a 35-year-old female with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo,the second case was a 29-year-old female with dizziness of unknown cause, and the third case was an 80-year-old female with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. All cases were physically thin and had feelings of coldness. On Kampo medical examination, their diagnosis was Rikan-kyosho and Kekkyo. To improve feelings of coldness, we administered tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto to all three cases, and it was very effective. Thus, being aware of patients' coldness and using tokoshigyakukagoshuyushokyoto may be advisable when doing Kampo examinations.
