Description

We report a case of a 65-year old man who suffered from hyperhydrosis for 15 years and was treated with the combined formulation of hangekobokuto and ryokeijutsukanto as determined by Kampo diagnosis according to traditional logic. Not only excessive sweating but also complications such as a feeling of obstruction in the throat, palpitation at rest, panting at times of light work, and a feeling of residual urine were diagnosed. We conclude that these symptoms were induced by a dysfunction of the qi (vital energy) and jin (nourishing fluids) circulation between the upper and the middle aspect of the body caused by the existence of wet phlegm, which were ameliorated by the effects of eliminating phlegm, and regulating stagnated or regurgitated qi with this combined formulation.
