Case Report-1: A 70-years-old male who has a daily busy work, took several times triazolam, because of bad sleeping, but he felt dizzy on October, 2018. Then he started to drink Aloe vera juice (AVJ) 200 ml/day with triazolam and then he took AVJ without triazolam on May, 2019. He has a good sleeping and well-being on June, 2023. Case report-2: A 65-years-old-female who prescribed eszopiclone, because of mental disorders, mental illness and insomnia on November 2019, showed some menopausal disorders. Then, she subscribed eszopiclone and Kampo: Kamishyoyo-san with AVJ 300 ml/d. Since then, she had a good 7-hours-sleeping without eszopiclone on June, 2016. Now, she had a good 6-hours-sleeping without Kampo: Kamishyoyo-san, only taking AVJ 500 ml/d. on April, 2018. Case report-3: A 60-years-old female who has a busy work and was insomnia and hypothermia, and 3 - 4 hours-sleeping. Then, she was subscribed etizolam. And she started to drink Kampo: Kamishyosy-san with AVJ 500 ml/d. and etizolam every other day on June, 2016.
