Abstract
A 63-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints of coldness in the head and right femur, persistent vertigo, dry mouth, vexation, general weakness, anorexia, and hot flashes. After being diagnosed with left-sided ductal carcinoma in 2017 and undergoing partial resection, she was recommended radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, but she refused and did not receive any treatment. At a checkup in November 2022, the left-sided invasive ductal carcinoma recurred. She underwent partial resection and was scheduled to receive radiotherapy two months later. During hospitalization, the patient received traditional Korean medicine treatment, including Korean herbal medicine (<i>Osuyubujaijung-tang</i>), acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping. Subjective symptom changes were evaluated daily. At discharge, the patient’s symptoms improved, and her condition varied with the presence of Aconitum carmichaelii. This study suggests that “<i>Osuyubujaijung-tang</i>” cared the coldness and vertigo caused by “Han-dam (寒痰)” in patients with Soeumin visceral syncope pattern (少陰人 臟厥症) and that A. carmichaelii played a major role in this outcome.
