Results: 1. There are 16 studies on atopic dermatitis treatment by using diets - 2 clinical trials and 12 animal experiments. All researches have revealed that diet modification is effective for atopic dermatitis. 2. There are 6 studies on atopic dermatitis treatment by using kampo medicine - 2 clinical trials and 4 animal experiments. All researches have revealed that kampo medicine is effective for atopic dermatitis. 3. There are 4 studies on atopic dermatitis treatment by using herbs - 4 animal experiments. All researches have revealed that herb is effective for atopic dermatitis.
