A case of a 66-year-old Korean male with coldness of both extremity that ruled out another mechanical and endocrinologic problem is presented. He was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture and herbal medicine - 十全大補湯(Sipjundaebo-tang, Juzentaihoto) and 柴胡桂枝乾薑湯(Sihogyejigungang-tang, Saikokeishikankyouto). We used SF-MPQ grading scale to assess severity of patient's symptom and DITI to measure patient's temperature. After Korean medical treatment, there was improvement in subjective symptom of patient and gap of lower extremity temperature. Korean medical treatment may be effective in treating coldness patients.
