Objectives: This study aimed to report on a systemic sclerosis patient diagnosed with Yulgyuk and Banui syndrome improved by Korean medical treatment. Methods: We treated a 70-year-old woman who had swallowing disorders and frequent vomiting caused by systemic sclerosis with herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment for six months. Treatment was evaluated with a numerical rating scale (NRS). Results: After treatment, swallowing disorders and frequent vomiting decreased. The NRS decreased from 8 to 3. Conclusions: This case suggests that Korean medical treatment was effective for alleviating a swallowing disorder and frequent vomiting caused by systemic sclerosis as a conservative treatment.
