Objectives : The essential tremor (ET) is characterized by a tremor of the whole body, including both arms. Recent studies suggest that its psychiatric and cognitive factors are more important for treatment and management than motor symptomsymptoms. This study was performed to report the effects of Korean medicine for essential tremor aggravated by Hwa-byung. Methods : We treated a 42 year- old man with Korean medicine (acupuncture, herb-medication and moxibustion) and mental therapy. The effects of the treatment for tremor and skin symptoms were measured by VAS and Severity score (3 level). We used SCL-90-R, BDI, BAI, PSQI and instrument of oriental medical evaluation for Hwa-Byung score (IOMEHB) for a psychological condition. Results : After treatments, tremor, Hwa-byung and accompanying symptoms have improved and subsided. VAS, SCL-90-R, BDI, BAI, PSQI, and IOMEHB have decreased. Conclusions : This result suggests that Korean medical treatment and mental therapy might be effective for the essential tremor aggravated with Hwa-byung.
