Case A 62‐year‐old woman presented with whiplash, bruised chest, and lateral abdominal wall hematoma with an arterial rupture. Keishibukuryogan ( KBG ), a traditional J apanese K ampo medicine, was administered for treatment of oketsu syndrome. Five days after the injury, cervical and chest pain were still present, and the subcutaneous hematoma had increased tremendously in size. KBG was discontinued and jidabokuippo ( JDI ) was administered. The subcutaneous hematoma improved dramatically. Outcome Symptoms improved after treatment with JDI . Conclusion JDI can be used for the management of pain and swelling following abdominal wall hematoma as an alternative to non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs.
