Abstract:
Jiinshihoto, a Kampo formulation described in the textbook, Wanbinhuichun, is well known as a suitable formulation for patients troubled by chronic cough with qi obstruction. The components of jiinshihoto have several effects including nourishing yin, clearing empty heat, replenishing qi, and improving digestive function. We report three cases with glossodynia and abnormal sensation in the throat which were treated successfully with jiinshihoto. We therefore recommend jiinshihoto for the treatment of glossodynia and abnormal sensation in the throat associated with signs of yin deficiency including thirst, dry mouth, and viscous sputum,and signs of qi obstruction such as a tympanic sound on the right side of the abdomen.
