Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to give an account of the effects of the Traditional Korean herbal medicine therapy which is based on the Sasang constitutional medicine on psoriasis Methods We diagnosed her as Soyangin(少陽人) based on her nature and emotion, physical chracteristics, symptoms. We thought Leaky Gut Syndrome is related to Soyangin Food Stagnation, stuffiness and fullness(食滯痞滿). So we applied Dokhwaljihwang-tang(獨活地黃湯) which is used to Soyangin Food Stagnation, stuffiness and fullness because her symptoms recurred as a result of Food Stagnation(食滯) after eating meat. The improvement of the skin condition was observed by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score Results Psoriasis patient who was treated with Soyangin Dokhwaljihwang-tang showed improvement in Psoriasis symptom. This case study describes the effectivenss on psoriasis symptoms by using Soyangin Dokhwaljihwang-tang. Conclusions The PASI score of the patient reduced from 10.8 to 1.2 after three months of treatment. According to the result, we concluded that Dokhwaljihwang-tang had a good effect on psoriasis.
