A 14-year-old girl with atopic dermatitis was treated by Kampo-medicine. Both her clinical picture and laboratory findings were evidently consistent with those of atopic dermatitis. Skin Iesions were prominent on her forehead, upper eye lides, cervical region and cubital regions. The percentage of eosinophilic leucocyte was 9% before the therapy of Reikeijutsukan-To and was 1% after the therapy. The value of IgE (<500) was 3, 091 before the therapy and was 3, 567 after that. Radioallergosorbent test (RAST) was abnormal and essentially not changed before and after the therapy. The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of Reikeijutsukan-To was briefly discussed from the stand point of “whole body pathology”

A 52-year-old housewife with chalazion was non-operatively treated by Kampo-medicine.
There were three chalazions on her right under eyelid and many infarcts of tarsal gland on her bilateral eyelids. Two of the three chalazions were successfully treated and the residual one became clinically non-troublesome. A large infarct of tarsal gland on her left upper eyelid disappeared through the process of conjuctival polyp formation, being well recorded photo graphically. Decoctions of derivatives of Saikokeishi-To were used for the therapy.
The therapeutic mechanism of the clinical picture was briefly considered from both the stand point of “cell pathology” and that of “whole body pathology”.

This paper reported a patient of a tendency to somnolence well treated with “Sansonin-to”. The patient was a 52-year-old house wife, small and lean, who always felt tired and had an intense desire and tendency to sleep in spite of a lot of sleep in nights. Her abdominal tonus was rather soft, and pulsation above the navel and tenderness besides the navel were evidently noticed.
At first, Toki-syakuyaku-san-ka-bushi (Dang-Gui-Shao-Yao-San-Jia-Fu-Zi) and Sansonin-to (Suan-Zao-Ren-Tang) were prescribed alternately every fourth day for one month, and afterwards, Sansonin-to was given predominantly, being Toki-syakuyaku-san concurrently. After about two months, the tendency to somnolence was completely improved.
In view of the effective results, already reported by us, of two insomniac patients with Sansonin-to, the decoction, Sansonin-to, can be inferred to have an effective function to both insomnia and somnolence. Regardless of the procedure of “roasting or no-roasting” the seed of Zizyphus jujuba Mill before boiling and making a medical decoction, some essential compositions of the seed might be necessary to be extracted into the decoction.

A 48-year-old man, suspected of erythema annulare centrifugum, was treated by Kampo-medicine. His clinical picture and findings were evidently consistent with those of erythema annulare centrifugum. Skin lesions, chiefly consisted of erythema with a little of exfoliation, were noticed both on the upper abdomen and on the bilateral lumbar regions.
Decoctions of Dai-saiko-to (Da-Chai-Hu-Tang) were mainly used for the treatment, concurrently with Keishi-bukuryo-gan (Gui-Zhi-Fu-Ling-Wan). Lumbar eruption comp letely disappeared after one month of the treatment and abdominal one also after four months without any trace of lesions.
The therapeutic mechanism of the skin lesions was briefly considered from both the stand point of “cell pathology” and that of “whole body pathology”.

A 69-year-old housewife with chronic eczema was treated by Kampo-medicine. For about 20 years, she had suffered from episodes of general eruptions every summer. At our outpatient clinic, skin lesions, chiefly consisted of papules with erosions, were noticed on bilateral external surface of the nose, the back of right hand and the back of the neck.
At first, decoctions of Keishibukuryo-gan-ka-Daio was prescribed for one month, and afterwards, Keishibukuryo-gan-ka-Daio Yokuinin for the rest. The lesions was completely improved after two or five months of the treatment, and the other skin lesions appeared on bilateral forearms, disappearing also after two or three months of the same design of the treatment. After the therapy by Kampo-medicine, no skin lesions were noticed at least for more than two years.
The therapeutic mechanism of the skin lesions was briefly discussed from both the stand point of “Cell pathology” and that of “Whole body pathology”.

A 19-year-old girl with atopic dermatitis was treated by Kampo-medicine. At our outpatient clinic, her skin lesions were especially prominent on her face and cervical region, although noticed also on chest, abdomen, cubital and popliteal regions.
At first, decoctions of Byakko-ka-Ninzin-To was prescribed in ordinary quantities of composite materials (crude drugs), and afterwards, the crude drug (Coptis japonica, Makino) was added. To improve facial flush and thirst, quantities of Coptis japonica and Gypsum were gradually increased. After 25 weeks of this therapy, the skin lesions almost disappeared, and afterwards, no remedy was needed at least for more than three years.
The therapeutic mechanism of the skin lesions was briefly discussed from both the stand point of “Cell pathology” and that of “Whole boby pathology”.

A 31-year old woman with pustulosis palmaris et plantaris was treated by Kampo-medicine. At our outpatient clinic, her skin lesions were especially prominent on her calcaneal and plantal regions of both feet, although noticed also on her palmar regions of both hands.
Decoctions of Keishi-ka-Ôgi-Tô was prescribed according to her Shô (signs and symptoms on whole body). Pustules apparently increased in 2 weeks after this therapy, but afterwards decreased. After 4 months, the skin regions almost disappeared. Although a slight, transient recurrence was noticed at the 10 months of this therapy, the disease was almost completely healed after 12 months.
The therapeutic mechanism of the skin lesions was briefly discussed from both the stand point of “Cell pathology” and that of “Whole body pathology”.
