Abstract:
To summarise Professor WANG Xixing's experience in treating brain tumour from emotions and minds. Professor WANG regarded abnormal emotions and minds as the key to the treatment of brain tumor. Emotions and minds internal damage lead to malfunction of the five zang organs， resulting in phlegm， stasis， dampness， toxicity and other pathogenic qi gathering in the brain and developing into brain tumour. The treatment advocated regulating qi of the five zang organs and dispelling phlegm， blood stasis， dampness and toxins at the same time. The brain tumour is classified into four syndromes： heart-spleen deficiency， liver depression and spleen deficiency， failure of the heart and kidney to interact， and liver-kidney yin deficiency， with Guipi Yangshen Decoction （归脾养神汤） to fortify the spleen and nourish the heart， Guishao Shunzhi Decoction （归芍顺志汤） to soothe the liver and fortify the spleen， Liangui Tongshen Decoction （连桂通神汤） to restore interaction between the heart and the kidney， and Zishui Qingmu Huashen Decoction （滋水清木化神汤） to nourish the kidney and clear liver. At the same time， it was emphasised that the patient's emotional changes should be paid attention to， and psychological guidance should be given at the right time， so as to overcome the disease with emotions and mind.
