- Abstract: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain,and its clinical manifestations include shaking and slowness of movement.The means of clinical medicine treatment are limited,but traditional Chinese medicine,with its advantages of low cost and high safety,shows great potential in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.Our team proposed that the core pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease was"earth deficiency and wood multiplication",that is,spleen(soil)deficiency and liver(wood)dysfunction.Among them,"earth deficiency"was the basis of the disease,and"wood multiplication"was the core of the disease.The treatment advocated"strengthening spleen and soothing liver",the specific methods included strengthening spleen and resolving phlegm,Tonify qi and cultivate the middle and soothing liver and relieve depression,and subdue wind and unblock the meridians,etc.Representative recipes were Lianmei Siwu decoction,Zhengan Xifeng decoction,Huangya decoction and Shenzhu decoction.In the treatment,we should pay attention to the whole concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment,and combine the three factors to improve the clinical effect.At the same time,the advantages and mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease deserve further research and verification.
