Stroke , also known as Stroke , comes from "Lingshu. Evil Qi Zangfu Disease Forms". The clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by fainting, crooked mouth and eyes, hemiplegia , and language difficulties. It is mostly caused by worry and anger, qi and blood disorder, phlegm-heat internal congestion, and liver-wind swirling. Because this disease has a sudden onset and rapid changes, it is similar to the rapidly changing characteristics of wind in nature, so the ancients compared it to wind and named it stroke.
According to the above, "stroke" in traditional Chinese medicine usually refers to cerebrovascular disease, which has high morbidity, mortality and disability rates, and is a disease that seriously endangers people's health. Ancient Chinese medical scientists have known about this disease for a long time. The "Nei Jing", which was first written 2000 years ago, has recorded the different manifestations and stages of stroke. For example, the coma stage of stroke is called "battle", "Dajue", "Biaojue", etc., and the period of hemiplegia is called "Partial dryness", " partial wind", "Prickly heat", etc. "Lingshu. Nine Palaces and Eight Winds" states: "If it has three deficiencies and is biased toward evil winds, then the servant will be withered." The so-called "strike with partial dryness" is a stroke. Up to Han Dynasty Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. The fifth joint treatment of stroke and Lijie disease and pulse syndrome" stated: "The evil lies in the collaterals, and the skin is unkind; the evil lies in the meridians, that is, it is heavy; the evil enters the fu organs, that is, it does not recognize people; When it enters the internal organs, it becomes difficult for the tongue to speak and saliva comes out of the mouth." The cause and pulse syndrome of this disease are discussed in detail. After the Han Dynasty, medical scientists in the past dynasties continued to deepen their understanding of stroke and improved treatment measures.
