Description

There have been some reports that keishikaryukotsuboreito improves climacteric symptoms such as palpita tion, but none have reported coldness successfully treated with this formulation. We report a case of palpita tion and coldness, successfully treated with keishikaryukotsuboreito.<br>The patient was a 48-year-old female. She complained of palpitation and coldness for 2 to 3 years. She had coldness of the hands and feet without hot flushes. She consulted our clinic on May 8, XXXX. We prescribed keishikaryukotsuboreito (7.5 g/day) because of suggestive symptoms of insomnia, as well as palpitation in the abdomen. Her symptoms improved in 2 weeks. Keishikaryukotsuboreito is usually prescribed for cold feet with hot flushes. The results experienced in this case suggest that keishikaryukotsuboreito may be effective for cold feet without hot flushes, especially with palpitation and pulsation at the navel, which are known symp toms of qi counterflow in Kampo medicine.
