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.
