Untreated seventeen patients with anorexia nervosa who met DSM-III-R criteria were examined using simplified Kampo medicine (traditional medicine in Japan based on ancient Chinese medicine) , and were initially treated by Kampo han fang chun ji (5g of Liu jun zi tang daily for 4 weeks) along with cognitive behavior therapy. These patients had been further treated by cognitive behavior therapy up to maximum 2 years. Fourteen of the all patients were met the criteria of xu (asthenia) according to total Kampo score. There was no patient who met the criteria of shi (robust). Liu jun zi tang reduced a lot of digestive and psychiatric complaints of these patients. However, the quantity or relief of complaints by Liu jun zi tang did not correlate with the outcome at 2 years after the initial visiting ; 1 died, 2 dropped-out (6 mon. and l yr.) , 7 continuative, 7 finished. There were no patients dropped out less than early 6 months of the therapy. The medication of Liu jun zi tang can be a mean of not only improving complaints but also preventing dropped-outs from the therapy.
