The patient was treated with Samryungbeakchul-san (Canlingbaizhu-san), Hyangsayangyi-tang (Xiangshayangwei-tang), and Haewoolhwajoong-tang (Jieyuhezhong-tang) two to three times a day and with acupuncture and moxibustion two to three times a week.
Results: After the short-term treatments described above, the patient was gradually recovering from severe weight loss and many accompanying symptoms, such as diarrhea, insomnia, insufficient food intake, and others.
Conclusions: The results show the possibility that severe weight loss diagnosed with a pattern of liv-er-spleen disharmony could be effectively treated with Korean Medicine (acupuncture and herbal medication).
