The purpose of this study was to report the effect of GwiBiTang and gagambang, acupuncture and moxibustion on essential tremor. This study was made on 6 cases that were treated in the OO University Oriental Medicine hospital and evaluated tremor using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). GwiBiTang was one of the most generally used herbal medication, diagnosed as dual deficiency of the heart-spleen. In five patients out of six, VAS scores decreased. Two patients's scores decreased to 0 point. Three patients's score decreased to 2, 5 and 6 point, respectively. One patient was maintained on these Korean medical treatment for 26 days with no decrease of VAS score in tremor. The overall therapeutic effect was "markedly improved" in 2 (33.3%), "moderately improved" in 3 (50%), "poor" in 1 (16.7%). The results obtained this study suggest that GwiBiTang and gagambang, acupuncture and moxibustion might be effective in the treatment of tremors. Future studies will be required to ascertain the effect of GwiBiTang.
