Tourette's syndrome, in essence, why do you say that?
Traditional Chinese medicine says that "phlegm is a problem for all diseases, and strange diseases are cured from phlegm". Tourette's syndrome is "liver wind internal movement", although the disease site is in the liver, but the spleen and stomach function are first damaged.
The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the foundation of the solid foundation and the cultivation of the yuan, and the source of the body's qi and blood energy. If the spleen and soil are deficient and the soil is deficient, the liver and wood take advantage of the spleen, and the deficiency wind moves internally.
Just like a tree without soil, how can it take root and grow? can only be swayed by the wind and at its mercy.
Say a little boy I saw, 11 years old, who has been having Tourette's for 3 years.
At first, it was a cold and symptoms such as shrugging shoulders and shaking fingers, but I didn't pay attention to it. Half a year later, it worsened, and there was an action of opening the mouth and shaking the arm, and he went to many hospitals to be diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, and used Western medicine for a year, but the effect was not good. After being introduced, I came to the clinic.
Immediate diagnosis: frequent blinking, mouth opening, arm flicking, pharyngeal involuntary vocalization, occasional belly bulging. It is accompanied by yellowish complexion, loss of appetite, pale red tongue, white greasy, and smooth pulse.
Dialectic: spleen deficiency and wind movement, wind and phlegm internal disturbance.
Treatment: Strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm, and relieve wind and circulation.
Prescription ideas:
Erchen Tongjia yam and gallbladder star strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm; Windbreak, white aconite, Sichuan peony, and earth dragon dispel wind and stop spasms; White peony, papaya, tendon grass soft tendon stop; Cassia seeds, grain essence grass, sparse wind and bright eyes; Pueraria lobata is born to stop spasmodics and lead the medicine upward.
The combination of various medicines can play a role in strengthening the spleen and dissolving phlegm, relieving wind and relieving spasms.
The result?
After 2 weeks of follow-up consultation, the blinking and vocalization were significantly reduced, the appetite improved, and the above symptoms disappeared after 3 months of treatment with the addition and subtraction of the syndrome. Continued intermittent drug consolidation for 2 months, and no recurrence has been observed so far.
What's the truth in that?
Children often have insufficient spleen, often do not know hunger and satiety, and are prone to overfeeding, which aggravates the association dysfunction between upper, middle and lower trifocal and spleen and stomach function.
In the end, many children in the outpatient clinic start from the spleen and stomach to regulate, and there are common congestion in the middle of the spleen, and dampness and evil block the middle focus, resulting in abnormal operation of the spleen and stomach. The spleen is the source of phlegm, which turns into fire for a long time and leads to liver wind.
The wind is good and the number changes, and the phlegm and saliva also rise and fall with the qi, and it can be found everywhere, so the wind and phlegm are harmonious, and there is no pervasive.
Wind and phlegm are disturbed and stagnant, and the face will blink and shake the head, twitch the corners of the mouth, and scream in the throat; Walking and stagnation of the lower limbs appear involuntary kicking, kicking and other twitching of the limbs muscles.
The daily diet of such children should pay attention to:
By adjusting the middle focus and restoring the subtle normal movement of the water valley, as long as the spleen and stomach are normal, most of the problems in the child's body can be solved, and the tics will not dare to make trouble again.
