Abstract

We administered a Kampo decoction containing bushi (prepared aconiti tuber) or uzu (un-prepared aconiti tuber) to two children in Aso Iizuka hospital. Case 1 was a thirteen year-old girl with atopic dermatitis that worsened after her topical steroid was stopped. When her itching sensation was reduced following a bath, we considered that she was suffering from coldness. Therefore we administered a half dose of bukuryoshigyakuto.The next morning her old skin flaked off and her skin appeared healthy. We administered bukuryoshigyakuto before every meal and there was rapid improvement in her dermatitis. Case 2 was a twelve year-old girl with orthostatic dysregulation who was unable to attend school. She had become aware of coldness the previous autumn and had not been able to go to school, nor even sit up, since the previous winter because of severe fatigue. We diagnosed her with severe coldness and so started sekiganryo administration, and included 2 g of uzu. We gradually increased the uzu. At a result, her severe fatigue improved to the extent that she could eat breakfast and go to school inside the hospital. Children may have severe coldness if they suffer from a long-term illness. Moreover, particular attention should be given to toxicity caused by aconiti tuber.
