The Treatment of Brain Diseases With Classical Chinese Medicine

Today, as we know, brain diseases and disorders such as severe and chronicle headache, sleep disorders, depression, brain tumors, dementia and vascular brain diseases, etc. severely threaten our health and quality of life. Unfortunately, Western medical treatments for these diseases are still limited, but Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) can offer hope.
According to Classical Chinese Medicine, the brain is one of the most important extra Fu in the body. It strongly involves the Jing, Qi, and Shen of all Zang Fu and the meridians. All meridians connect into the brain at the end and it also has the most blood Luo Mai. As palace of Shen (spirit), it governs the function of the 5 Shen (5 life programs) of the 5 Zang and 6 Fu. Therefore, as in Western medicine, brain diseases in CCM are one of the more complex but important issues. In the CCM classic the Huang Di Nei Jing, many chapters describe brain diseases and their etiologies and pathological mechanisms.
 
In this lecture,we will focus on how to practice CCM to treat these complex diseases. The following main issues will be addressed:

  2. Discussion of the pathological mechanisms of brain diseases in detail.
