Yokukansankachimpihange has been applied to practical use for some indications such as irritability, excitability, anxiety and insomnia. We report 6 cases of chronic headache patients (tension-type headache [1], migraine [2] and mixed-type headache [3]) with the significant pulsation at pit of stomach and navel, who were successfully treated with Yoku-kan-san-ka-chimpi-hange for prophylaxis. These findings suggest that Yokukansankachimpihange might be useful for not only tension-type headache but also migraine and mixed-type headache.

We experienced four cases of perniosis successfully treated with bukuryoingohangekobokuto, or hangekobokuto. Swollen tongue, pulsation at the pit of the navel, and tympanitic abdominal sounds were taken as common objective findings in all four cases. In addition, decreased surface body temperature was diagnosed at the bilateral hands and feet, so as to be distal from the trunk in palpation. These four cases had both symptoms of an eminent Ki obstruction, and a disorder of body fluid metabolism. For the two cases administered bukuryoingohangekobokuto especially, a state of strong Ki deficiency was diagnosed. Efficacy in each case was prompt. Thus, we consider bukuryoingohangekobokuto and hangekobokuto to be prescriptions worth trying for perniosis that does not responding to the usual Western medicines, or Kampo treatment.

It is assumed that keishikaryojutsubuto was first described in the Ho-ki medical text, and it has been used to target neuralgia and the arthritic pain. We experienced cases of Crohn's disease, endometriosis, post-operative rectal carcinoma, acute gastroenteritis and Meniere's disease successfully treated with keishikaryojutsubuto. When this formulation is administered, it might be important to keep in mind the definition of prescriptions for keishikashakuyakuto and shimbuto, or ryokeijutsukanto, as described in the Kokan-igaku text. In addition, this formulation might be applicable to various other diseases.
