It is said that there is such a man

Mr. Liu, 48 years old. The main complaint is that he has had recurring headaches on the right side, dizziness and dizziness for 2 years, and his memory has declined significantly. But the patients have been enduring these.

Suddenly one day, I felt numbness in the right half of my body, and my hands and feet were weak and my movements were limited. As the disease progressed, the patient began to experience chest tightness, irritability, nausea, and an urge to vomit, so he asked his family to seek medical attention immediately.

During the examination, the patient's pulse was deep and stringy, the tongue was fat and enlarged, the tongue coating was yellow and white and greasy, and the tip of the tongue was a little red. After examination, it was found that blood lipids were on the high side and cerebrovascular tension was increased. The diagnosis was cerebral arteriosclerosis .

The doctor immediately prescribed: Coptis chinensis, whole Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Pinellia , Citrus aurantium , Chuanxiong , Red peony root , Salvia miltiorrhiza , lingzhi, Puhuang, Uncaria , whole insect, zombie , centipede. 25 doses, decoction in water.

After taking it, the patient's physical discomfort was greatly relieved, but his memory was still bad and he was forgetful. Therefore, the doctor added Shichangpu and Mulberry to the above, and continued to administer 30 doses, and combined with the related patent medicine Qiju Dihuang Pills.

In the end, all the patient’s symptoms were resolved. The patient was very happy and said that he was pulled back from the edge of stroke .

In fact, there are many similar patients in life. Before the onset of the disease, I always had headaches, dizziness, heavy head, confusion, and forgetfulness. Suddenly one day, half of the body was numb, unable to move properly, chest tightness, upset, and nausea. This can be seen everywhere in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.

What's going on? According to Chinese medicine, this is caused by two diseases and evils in the body. One is phlegm-heat, and the other is blood congestion,

Therefore, if you want to properly solve these problems, you must clear away heat and resolve phlegm, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. This is one of the main ideas of traditional Chinese medicine in dealing with cerebral arteriosclerosis and hemiplegia. Traditional Chinese medicine also calls it the method of "removing phlegm, resuscitating one's ideas, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis".

Here, Coptis chinensis, Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Pinellia ternata, and Citrus aurantium are useful for clearing away heat, resolving phlegm and breaking knots. Ligusticum chuanxiong, red peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, lingzhi and puhuang are used to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Uncaria, whole worms, silkworms and centipedes are used to extinguish wind and unblock meridians. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the reason why the patient's body is numb is related to liver wind caused by phlegm heat. Therefore, you have to use Xifeng insecticide. At the same time, the insecticide has the property of escaping and can dissolve the stubborn phlegm and dead blood deep in the body. This is very necessary to resolve phlegm and blood stasis. Later, in order to improve the patient's forgetfulness, I added Acorus chrysanthemum, which stimulates the mind, and Mulberry branch, which stimulates the meridians and activates meridians.

This is the basic intention of medication.

It should be said that this medical record better explains the traditional Chinese medicine treatment method for cerebral arteriosclerosis and hemiplegia caused by phlegm, heat and blood congestion, which is very representative. The case was first published in the "Henan Traditional Chinese Medicine" magazine 40 years ago.

In addition to timely treatment, stroke patients must not relax their lifestyle habits. Only in this way can they recover better through a two-pronged approach.
