Treating epilepsy based on phlegm-turbidity syndrome
Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Through expounding the theory of phlegm-turbidity and the development of epilepsy, this paper presents the new theoretical basis for the treatment of epilepsy. The authors calculate that phlegm and turbidity are different in the formation and pathogenic effects. Therefore, it is necessary to expound the formation of the phlegm and turbidity. It is also necessary to explain the pathogenesis of the phlegm and turbidity in the epilepsy. Phlegm is caused by the invasion of external evil, emotional disorders, or Qi deficiency and decline, resulting in Qi and blood disorder in the body; the accumulation of phlegm and heat for a long time will lead to the accumulation of turbidity; further with the failure of Qi and fluid circulation, it will lead to brain damage and epileptic seizures. Therefore, the treatment needs to distinguish the severity of phlegm and turbidity, based on which, use different herbs for the treatment of epilepsy.
