Psoriasis is a common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded crythematous, dry, scaling patches. It is caused to blood heat(úìæð), shortage of blood(úìðÏ) and blood stasis(úìåÜ) in oriental medicine. We treated a patient who suffered from chroinc and recurred psoriasis, and who was differenciated with endogenous wind due to shortage blood(úìðÏßæù¦) with Danguiumjagagam(Ó×ÏýëæíÊ¥Êõ). After 10 days of treatment with Danguiumjagagam(Ó×ÏýëæíÊ¥Êõ) and acupunture, we observed an improvement. Based on this experience, it is considered that oriental medicine can be applied to the treatment of psoriasis.
