As at the present Western medicine offers no dependable cure for chronic hepatitis there are presently many patients suffering from this disease over a long period of time. We have examined the possibility of curing chronic hepatitis using Chinese medical techniques involving a combination of herbal medicine and acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. At this time we would like to report our results.<br>We have conducted our examinations on 34 patients during the past year. One problem encountered was the analysis of tretment results. In terms of Western medicine there are liver function tests or biopsy by which results can be examined, however, in Eastern medicine analysis is based principally on the patient's subjective symptoms, for example, abdominal swelling or bloatedness, aching of arms and legs, tiring easily, etc.<br>Research was conducted by dividing the patients into two groups. To one group only herbal medicine was administered. To the other group herbal medicine was administered together with acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. Results were analyzed both through examination of subjective symptoms and liver function tests.<br>Results<br>1. Better results according to data from the liver function tests as well as in relief of subjective symptoms were observed in the group to which both acupuncture-moxibustion therapy and herbal medicine were administered.<br>2. Formerly it was stated that chronic hepatitis patients usually display symptoms in Eastern medicial terms of liver deficiency however, our results based on pulse diagnosis and observation of subjective symptoms revealed that most patients showed spleen-pancreas deficiency. This phenomenon is not completely understood however we may explain it in the following way. Liver disorder which occurs perhaps leads to a disorder in portal circulation and thus also circulatory problems occur in the intestinal wall which may cause the abdominal swelling, also the relation with the spleen and pancreas should be noted.
