Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The case study assessed the possibility of improving symptoms by external treatment in a patient complaining of night sweats who could not take oral herbal medicine.
Methods: Chinensis galla, Ostreae concha, and Cinnabaris were mixed in a 2:1:1 ratio and applied to CV8 before the patient went to bed. The treatment was removed upon waking and repeated every night. If itchiness and skin redness occurred, the position was changed to 2?3 cm up or down from the navel or application was changed to once every two days.
Results: The external treatment eliminated the symptoms of sweating in the arms, legs, chest, and abdomen and reduced sweating in the occipital and neck areas. The sweating was improved to the extent that it no longer interfered with daily life.
Conclusions: This case study shows the possibility of using external treatments rather than herbal medicine to treat night sweats.
