We presented an ataxia patient who was difficult to diagnose and treated her by oriental medical treatment. We applied various methods of oriental medicine including herb medicine, acupunture, moxibustion and so on. After that, we checked the extent of dysarthria, pruritus, finger to nose and rapid alternative movement and measured the progress of general condition with Modified Barthel Index(MBI). After the oriental medical treatment was applied to her, ataxia, dysarthria, pruritus, finger to nose and rapid alternative movement were improved. The score of MBI was improved from 45 to 71, too. Even though there is no exact pattern identification about ataxia in oriental medicine, the oriental medicine can have an effect on the ataxia patient.

We report a patient who had tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, hypertension, pronounced blood pressure fluctuations, abnormal sweating, constipation and urinary frequency as well as qudriparesis. We thought that the GBS was incurred by Damp-Heat, used Heat-Clearing and Dampness-Transforming decoction(Chongjoo-tang) in the early stage. In the later stage, fortifying the Spleen and Boosting Qi plus Supplementing the Kidney decoction(Palmultang+chongawon) was used to remove low back pain and boost recovery.
