Abstract: Many postpartum women experience various poor physical conditions and are unresponsive to Western medical treatments. In such cases, treatments with Kampo medicine have so far focused on improving qi deficiency alone or both qi and blood deficiencies. This study describes the three cases of the patients for whom a favorable outcome was achieved despite a relatively poor prognosis by better understanding their status before pregnancy and their conditions during pregnancy and delivery, and by combining treatments for liverqi stagnation with those for improving prenatal or postnatal qi deficiency.
