title: Effects of a medicinal herbal liqueur, "yomeishu", on post-operative gynecological patients.
abstract: We administered 20 ml of Yomeishu (YMS) twice a day before meals for 12 weeks to 50 post-operative patients in gynecology and then inquired into their subjective 20 symptoms (sense of fatigue, insomnia, headache and heavy headedness, appetite, stomach-ache, abdominal inflation, vertigo, lumbago, etc.) The YMS group showed a significant improvement on 14 items compared with the control group. On the whole, a great improvement was observed in the YMS group with serious subjective symptoms as well, and there were significant differences for general condition, sense of fatigue, and coldness in extremities.
