What are the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to treat epilepsy?

　　Epilepsy is a common brain disease. Most of the affected people are children. It will cause great harm to the patient's health. After discovering that you have epilepsy, you must actively treat it. For the treatment of epilepsy, both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can be used. Each has its own advantages. Today I will introduce to you in detail the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of epilepsy, hoping to attract everyone's attention.

　　Chinese medicine treatments for epilepsy:

　　(1) Method of awakening the mind, resuscitating one's orifices and arresting epilepsy: It is a consensus that the method of resuscitating one's orifices should be used to relieve epilepsy, but the understanding of how to resuscitate one's orifices is not uniform. Some people advocate aromatic aroma to open the mind, some people advocate removing phlegm and opening the mind, and some people think that it is not necessary to use the medicine to open the mind alone, but should mainly focus on promoting blood circulation, reducing phlegm and dredging the collaterals. My experience is that in the event of an epileptic emergency, a combination of acupuncture and medication, both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, should be used to quickly stop the epilepsy in order to protect the brain and spinal cord from continued damage. Angong Niuhuang Pills, Suhexiang Pills, and Zhibao Dan are all commonly used products. Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicines commonly used in clinical encephalology departments, such as Xingnaojing and Qingkailing injection, can be dialectically used in the clinical treatment of epilepsy, especially first aid during seizures.

　　(2) The method of activating blood circulation and dissolving blood vessels: This method is more suitable for epilepsy caused by craniocerebral trauma, dystocia, or intracranial hemorrhage in children. During an epileptic seizure, the qi and blood of the human body's internal organs lose their balance and become disordered. Disorders of Qi will inevitably lead to poor blood flow. This is because Qi and blood are closely related. After qi stagnation, blood flow is blocked, and after blood stasis, qi movement becomes even more unfavorable. Therefore, when treating epilepsy, especially when treating traumatic epilepsy, the use of drugs that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis can improve the efficacy. When using commonly used blood-activating drugs, please note that they are contraindicated in women with menorrhagia or pregnancy.

　　There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "long-term illness often causes blood stasis." For those with epilepsy and symptoms of blood stasis, the method of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis is undoubtedly the best choice. However, for some epilepsy syndromes, sometimes the signs of blood stasis are not obvious, but the disease is difficult to recover for a long time, and when other treatments are not effective, it can also be used in conjunction with the treatment of activating blood circulation and unblocking collaterals, and often good results can be obtained.

　　Treatment of epilepsy requires attention to the cause and treatment of epilepsy: In daily life, patients must develop good living habits, a reasonable diet and adequate nutrition, which are necessary conditions to ensure human growth and development. Insufficient diet means lack of nutrients, which affects the biochemistry of Qi and blood, leading to physical weakness. On the contrary, excessive diet can damage the spleen and stomach, leading to physical decline over time. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the diet reasonably, have balanced nutrition, and correct bad habits.

　　Epilepsy will cause harm to many patients and friends, and will affect their health. You can try traditional Chinese medicine, and pay attention to preventive measures in life, and pay attention to strengthening physical exercise. Only in this way can you ensure good health.
