Abstract:
Based on fundamental theory, literatures of TCM and clinical practice, we have found that there are some errors in the theory of stroke. We put forward several views on it: Firstly, the key reason of stroke is the hidden pathogenic factor which is phlegm and stasis, but not wind and fire. Secondly, the production of wind is due to the liver-blood injury caused by phlegm and stasis; the production of f ire is due to whether the liver-blood injury caused by phlegm and stasis or the f ire stagnated by phlegm and stasis in pericardium. Thirdly, the disease location of stroke is in the level of spirit, not in channels and collaterals. Liver soul injury leads to paralysis and aphemia. Lung soul injury leads to numbness. Kidney will injury leads to sensory aphasia. Pericardium invaded by phlegm and stasis, mind disorder will exists. Fourthly, spirit injury is a def icient syndrome, and supplementing blood and qi is the key of treatment, and expelling phlegm and stasis, balancing yin and yang are also needed. The main treatment principles of liver soul injury, lung soul injury, kidney will injury and pericardium injury are tonifying blood, cultivating qi, replenishing essence and nourishing both qi and blood respectively.
