Heberden's and Bouchard's nodes are clinical manifestations of osteoarthritis of the interphalangeal joints. Heberden's nodes typically affect the distal interphalangeal (DIP) and Bouchard's nodes, the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of a fingers in patients with osteoarthritis. We describe osteoarthritis of the interpha­langeal joints in 3 women who were successfully treated with sokeikakketsuto. Case 1 : A 58-­year-­old woman presented with pain in the DIP joint of her left middle finger and was diagnosed with a Heberden's node. Case 2 : A 60­-year­-old woman presented with pain in the DIP joint of her left ring finger and was diagnosed with a Heberden's node. Case 3 : A 37­-year-­old woman presented with pain in PIP joint of her left ring finger and was diagnosed with a Bouchard's node. All women were successfully treated with sokeikakketsuto. In conclusion, sokeikakketsuto is a useful Kampo medication to treat mild-­to-­moderate pain secondary to bone, joint, or spinal conditions, as well as non-­steroidal anti­inflammatory drugs.

We present two cases of night sweats due to eiefuwa (deficiencies of nutrients and defenses) that were suc­cessfully treated with Kampo medicine. Case 1 was that of a 64-­year-­old man with perspiration during sleep and slight fever, and Case 2 was that of a 78­-year-­old man with perspiration during sleep and common cold­-like symptoms. Case 1 was administered with saikokeishito, and his symptoms quickly disappeared. Case 2 was administered with common cold drugs and saikokeishito initially, but the treatment was ineffective. Therefore, keishito was administered, and the patient's symptoms disappeared within 2 days. Sweating and common cold-­like symptoms were successfully treated with Kampo medicine for the diagnosis of eiefuwa. Further, we discuss the various descriptions of eiefuwa in the literature.
