Asada's Saikatsugekito, which is a mixture of ginseng-and jujube-free, but gypsumadded Shosaikoto-Kakkonto mixture, is thought to be used for the Heibyo of Taiyobyo and Ritekisyoyosho according to its composition and the contents of the description in its source. On the other hand, in the treatment of Heibyo, Senhyogori may be the therapeutical principle for such a pathological condition according to that for Taiyobyo and Yomeibyo, but the present treatment is thought to be exceptionally beneficial due to the effect of Hyorisokai. The present case of cold syndrome, which initially was supposed to be Maotosho, was diagnosed, on the day after its first examination, as transferred to Ritekisyoyosho, i. e. Heibyo of Taiyosho and Ritekisyoyosho. The present treatment caused its symptomatic remission in a short period of time. This may be indicative of the significance of the present treatment for such a state of Heibyo of Taiyobyo and Ritekisyoyosho. From the viewpoint of Heibyo treatment, we should bear in mind that some exceptional use, such as in the present treatment, may be practical in consideration of the therapeutical principle.

Keishininjin-to (Formula Ginseng and Cinnamomi) can be used to treat colds where internal digestive system symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain accompany the symptoms of the exterior or superficies. This use of Keishininjin-to is probably based on the concept that there is external heat complicating the typical internal cold indicating use of Ninjin-to (Formula Ginseng), or it may be induced from the crude herbs comprising Keishininjin-to.
In Kampo medicine, the concept of complications is one of the pathophysiological theories governing treatment principles. The treatment principles regarding complications are: 1. Sengo (a system of priorities consisting of Senhyokori (treating exterior symptoms before interior), Senkyu kokan (acute before chronic) and Sengai konai (external before internal); 2. Goho (combining formulas according to stage, i. e., Dobyoinai (in the same stage) or Ibyoikan (between stage); 3. Creation of a special formula. Keishininjin-to follows the third principle; it is a special formula created by slightly increasing the Glycyrrhizae Radix in Ninjin-to and adding Cinnamomi Cortex. It is intended to treat both exterior and interior symptoms in complications of Taiyo-keishi-to-sho and Taiin-ninjin-to-sho. Of the four patients involved in this study, cases one, two and three were treated according to this principle. Case four was treated with Keikyososooshinbu-to, as the symptoms were thought to indicate a combination of Taiyo-keishi-kyoshakuyaku-to-sho and Shoin-maosaishinbushi-to-sho. In all cases, improvement in the patients' condition was seen shortly after commencement of the Kampo formula administration.
