Hangekobokuto is a prescription of crude drugs and mainly contains pinelliae and magnolia. It has been used for the therapy of women with abnormal sensation in the throat in Kanpo medicine (Chinese traditional medicine inherited and developed in Japan).The authors administered Tsumura-Hangekobokuto (7.5g daily for two weeks) to a consecutive series of 50 female patients and evaluated the efficacy of the drug by analysing the patients' subjective signs and symptoms.The drug was effective in 52% of the patients in a week, in 58% in 2 weeks and in 66% in 3 weeks (one week after the cessation of the drug). Side effects were minimal, and only one patient reported nausea.It was indicative that modern and traditional medicine might produce a higher rate of efficacy and usefulness in the therapy of abnormal sensation in the throat.
