Guideline for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome by Japanese Oriental Medicine (Kampo) is summarized. It is very important to notice that Kampo prescription will show its best efficacy if it is adjusted for the conditions of a patient. To diagnose ill conditions for the patient is called the process of "Sho" clarification. Sho is the ultimate diagnosis, which is the term given to summarization of diagnostic process for a patient. Conceptual criteria used for making up Sho are "Yin/Yang", "Kyo/Jitsu", and "Hot/Cold". A Kampo formula has its own position regarding these concepts. We interpret about these concepts and formulae. Another important method for making Sho diagnosis is abdominal diagnosis, which is relatively easy to learn. Certain signs in abdominal diagnosis correspond to certain formula. We explain some methods in abdominal diagnosis and the related formulae. We also comment on construction process and features of Kampo prescription.
日本汉方医学治疗肠易激综合征的指南总结如下。需要注意的是，如果根据患者的情况进行调整，汉方处方将发挥最佳疗效。为患者诊断病情的过程称为“证”的辨明。证是最终诊断，是对患者诊断过程的总结。用于构成证的概念标准是“阴阳”“虚实”和“寒热”。一个汉方方剂在这些概念方面有其自身的定位。我们对这些概念和方剂进行解读。进行证诊断的另一个重要方法是腹诊，这相对容易学习。腹诊中的某些体征对应某些方剂。我们解释腹诊的一些方法及相关方剂。我们还对汉方处方的构建过程和特点进行评论。
