Abstract:
The source of reitakutsukito, which has been described in only one case, is the text “Ranshitsu-hizo.” We recently experienced a 65-year old male suffering from refractory chronic headache for forty years, and a 38-year old female suffering from bronchial asthma resistant to tokishigyakukagoshuyushokyoto, whose symptoms were successfully treated with reitakutsukito by adding shin'i which has the action of dispersing pathogenic wind factor and opening orifice. Although reduction of underlying disease was not obtained, we also experienced clear improvement of oxygen saturation peripherally, and the subjective symptoms of a 40-year old male suffering from bronchial amyloidosis with reitakutsukitokashin'i. We report these three cases including documented considerations.
