Brain thrombosis occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) blocks an artery in the brain, stopping blood and oxygen from reaching vital brain cells. This can lead to a type of ischemic stroke, often resulting in symptoms like sudden paralysis, slurred speech, or even loss of consciousness.
From TCM Perspective: Not Just a Clot
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), brain thrombosis is not viewed as merely a mechanical blockage. It’s an imbalance—where Qi (vital energy) and blood stagnate, internal wind stirs, fire rises, and the meridians in the brain get blocked.
The underlying disharmony may involve:
- Liver Yang rising (causing high pressure)
- Blood stasis obstructing the orifices
- Spleen Qi deficiency failing to hold blood in vessels
- Kidney essence depletion weakening brain function
Don’t Ignore the Signs
So, if you’re experiencing the symptoms, please consult with a qualified TCM practitioner to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
