In the world of traditional Chinese medicine, the diagnosis of diseases is often closely related to subtle body signals, and Parkinson's can be found through a simple finger examination, and Chinese medicine also has its own unique methods and drugs for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
1. Finger signs of Parkinson's disease
People with Parkinson's disease often present with symptoms such as hand tremors, muscle stiffness, and bradykinesia.
In everyday life, we can observe abnormalities in our fingers in a few simple steps as clues for initial screening for Parkinson's disease.
First, pay attention to the slight tremors of the fingers that cannot be stopped; secondly, check whether the finger joints have become abnormally stiff, affecting normal bending and extension; Finally, to observe whether the fine motor skills of the fingers are reduced, such as whether it is difficult to button or write, and the dexterity and coordination of the hand muscles can also be measured by finger testing.
Although these signs are not the basis for diagnosis, they are a signal worthy of attention, which can predict disease information in advance, and it is precisely this information that helps patients avoid many detours!
2. The importance of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of Parkinson's disease
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, Parkinson's disease is believed to be caused by the dystrophy of the muscles and veins caused by liver and kidney deficiency and lack of qi and blood.
Therefore, in the treatment, the methods of nourishing the liver and kidneys and invigorating blood circulation are mostly adopted.
With its unique efficacy and fewer side effects, traditional Chinese medicine has shown an irreplaceable role in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
3. These three flavors of Chinese medicine cannot be missing
Gastrodia
Gastrodia has the effect of calming the liver and quenching wind, calming and relieving pain.
In the treatment of Parkinson's disease, it is mainly used to relieve tremor symptoms in the hands.
Gastrodia gastrodia can regulate liver wind in the body, reduce tremor caused by internal movement of liver wind, and at the same time relieve the patient's nervous tension.
He Shou Wu
He Shou Wu can nourish the liver and kidneys, benefit sperm and blood, black hair, and strengthen muscles and bones. For patients with Parkinson's disease, Polygonum multiflorum can not only improve liver and kidney function, but also enhance the body's ability to resist disease and help patients regain muscle control and coordination.
Tansan
Salvia miltiorrhiza invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis, relaxes tendons and activates the nerves.
It is effective in improving blood circulation and relieving muscle stiffness and pain.
In the treatment of Parkinson's disease, salvia is often used to improve blood flow to the hands and other limb areas, reducing symptoms caused by poor circulation.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive disease, and its early detection and intervention are crucial.
By observing our fingers, we can catch some possible signs and seek medical attention in time for a professional diagnosis.
At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown unique advantages in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, especially the three herbs of Gastrodia, Polygonum multiflorum and Salvia, which play an important role in nourishing the liver and kidneys, and invigorating blood circulation.
