Abstract;Effects of Kakkijin, a crude drug whose principal ingredient is panax ginseng, on "Hie-sho" (hypersensitivity to coldness) were assessed in rat models of hypersensitivity to coldness. When the animals were exposed to cool temperature, Kakkijin markedly suppressed decrease in body temperature (rectal temperature). When the animals were immersed in cold water to place them under severer conditions, Kakkijin markedly accelerated increase in surface body temperature, but it was not confirmed to have markedly improved rectal temperature or plantar temperature. As described above, Kakkijin was confirmed to have effects on "Hie-sho." It is suggested, therefore, that Kakkijin has posslbility of improving "Hie-sho," one of the menopausal disorders or of the symptoms characteristic of weak people; it became clear that "Hie-sho" can be prevented and cured more effectively by Kakkijin.
