Rikkunshito is known as a drug used for recovery from epigastric distress and loss of appetite. However, here we report four patients with symptoms involving non-gastrointestinal disorders successfully treated with rikkunshito. In Case 1 there was a complaint of erythema around the right eye, in Case 2 of hot flushes, in Case 3 of gonarthrosis, and in Case 4 of urticaria. After taking rikkunshito, these symptoms improved. The four cases were instances of hikyo, because in Cases 1, 3, 4 their disorders of the stomach were so severe that they couldn't take shishihakuhito, boiogito, jumihaidokuto and inchingoreisan, and in Case 2 there was poor appetite in summer. Thus we believe it is important to improve gastrointestinal symptoms with rikkunshito when various hikyo disorders arise.
