Here we report a case of a patient with Raynaud phenomenon due to Buerger’s disease to present the curative effects of herbal medicine in Buerger’s disease. The patient presented with pain, redness, and cyanosis of hands and feet. We used Korean medicine treatment modalities including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicines. We observed changes in symptoms through digital infrared thermographic imaging, taking photos of both hands and feet. After treatment, the symptoms of pain, redness, and cyanosis of both hands and feet were decreased and digital infrared thermographic imaging proved a rise in temperature of fingers and toes.
