This is a study of an admissional patient whose chief complaints were weakness and numbness in both legs, and lumbago. Diagnosis and treatment was based on overall analysis of symptoms from the point of view of muscular flaccidity due to damp-heat from an Oriental Medical point of view. 淸燥湯(Cheong Jo Tang) was administered against heat and dampness. Improvement was observed. For lack of objective criteria to evaluate improvement of these symptoms more case studies of this kind, done with screening tests and proper treatment through clinical application of the thinking of Oriental Medicine, will be needed.
