Some time ago, many people left messages saying that there are always noises in their heads, some like cicadas, and some like thunder, especially at night, which makes it difficult to fall asleep all night and have a poor mental state. I asked me how to know how to treat it.
I often encounter this situation in clinical work. Modern Chinese medicine calls it "brain jing". The ancient name is more vivid, called "day ants". The main symptom of this disease is that the patient feels that there are sounds in his brain, and most of them are continuous sounds. The symptoms affect the thinking ability and cause the patient to be unable to concentrate, so it will cause great trouble to sleep, study, work, etc. Some patients also have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, tinnitus, forgetfulness, fatigue, and insomnia.
Traditional and Western medicine have different views on the causes of brain jingling, and the treatment methods are also different.
Western medicine: The incidence of brain jingling is mostly related to insufficient cerebral blood supply
Brain jingling can be seen at any age, among the patients, there are elderly and young people, but the causes of the disease are different for patients of different ages. Western medicine believes that if a patient with a brain is a young person, especially in the student group, it is mostly closely related to mental factors such as tension and stress, and many patients also have symptoms of anxiety. A few young patients have stiff neck , which causes the head and neck muscles to be cramped and cannot relax, compressing the blood vessels in the neck, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, or the patient has problems with blood pressure, leading to poor blood circulation, affecting the blood supply to the brain, causing symptoms such as brain jingling and dizziness.
If the elderly experience brain jingle, it is mostly caused by insufficient blood supply in the brain, and the patients mainly show brain jingle, dizziness and memory loss. To sum up, Western medicine currently believes that brain timbre is mostly related to insufficient blood supply in the brain, and will require patients with long-term symptoms to conduct comprehensive examinations of the brain in a timely manner to find out the cerebrovascular problems that cause the symptoms. However, Western medicine has no effective treatment method for brain jing itself, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment has certain advantages.
Traditional Chinese medicine: Different syndromes and different treatment methods
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that brain jingling diseases are mostly related to factors such as emotional injury, poor diet, and labor injury. The root cause of the disease also varies according to the age of the patient. If the elderly experience brain jingling symptoms, they will blame the kidneys more. The kidneys are responsible for storing essence and producing marrow and spreading the brain. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine calls the brain "marrow sea". If the kidneys are strong, the marrow sea will be full; if the kidneys fail, the marrow sea will be empty. "Lingshu" records: "The brain is the sea of marrow... If the sea of marrow is insufficient, the brain will turn to tinnitus." It can be seen that the emptiness of the sea of marrow is one of the main causes of brain whisper. The elderly have insufficient kidney qi due to their age, or have kidney essence loss caused by fatigue, disease and other factors, which will make the sea of marrow empty and unable to go up to clear the orifices, causing the sound in the brain.
, and brain jingling in young people is mostly related to the liver. The liver is responsible for venting and venting, and likes to be strong and hates depression. If you accumulate bad emotions in daily life, such as anger, depression, anxiety, etc., it can cause liver depression and . Liver depression will turn into fire over time. Fire disturbs the orifices and causes headaches to cause brain jingling. This is the most common cause of brain jingling among middle-aged and young people.
In addition, the symptoms of brain jingling include heart and spleen deficiency, phlegm and dampness and internal obstruction. The treatment principles for different syndromes are different. It is recommended that patients with long-term brain jingling experience professional Chinese medicine practitioners in a timely manner. As long as the diagnosis is accurate and treatment is persistent, they can generally effectively inhibit the symptoms.
