The treatment of diseases with traditional Chinese medicine has saved countless lives. The treatment of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine is macro and comprehensive.
The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine is derived from and guided by long-term clinical practice. Through the analysis of the phenomenon, the internal mechanism is explored. Therefore, this unique theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine has two basic characteristics, one is the overall-concept, the other is the dialectical treatment.
Amnesia:forgetting.
✵Amnesia: What is amnesia? The medical term is temporary memory impairment. Simply put, amnesia is a temporary impairment of the brain's ability to think (or retrieve) information. So the symptoms will go away over time. Dementia, which sometimes looks similar, is the result of severe damage to the whole memory. They are two very different diseases.
Amnesia is a syndrome that one has a loss of memory, it is also known as a syndrome of forgetfulness, bad memory or short memory.
Forgetfulness, merely forget their things, have a beginning in handling things, but there is no end, talk to someone but do not know the beginning and end. This is because of the trouble in the event of redundancy, endless thinking, the mind is hurt. However, overthinking hurts the spleen, can also make people forgetful.
The cause of amnesia (forgetfulness):
The causes of amnesia are diverse, the most important reason is age. Recently, the incidence of amnesia tends to be younger, but compared with young people, middle-aged and elderly people over 40 are more likely to suffer from amnesia. The best memory occurs around the age of 20, and then brain function begins to decline gradually. Memory begins to decline formally around the age of 25, and memory declines with age, so it's not surprising that people in their 20s and 30s are plagued by amnesia. Besides, there is an external cause of amnesia. Constant stress and tension can cause brain cells to tire, which worsens amnesia. Excessive smoking, drinking, and vitamin deficiencies can cause temporary memory deterioration.
The ancient classical works Nei Jing (the Inner Canon) states: blood stagnant in the lower, Qi stagnant in the upper, chaotic and easily lead to forgetfulness.
The ancient classical works Ling Shu (the Spiritual Pivot or Divine Axis) states: the upper Qi is insufficient, the lower Qi is residual, the stomach and intestines are excessive, heart and lungs are deficient, deficiency and then Ying and Wei (Yingqi and Weiqi, nutritive Qi and defensive Qi) stays in the lower, not flow upward for a long time, so easy to forget.
Internal causes: In general, ancient works explains that excessive worrying and thinking hurt the pericardium, resulting in restlessness of the mind and forgetfulness when meeting things; and thinking many hurts the spleen, and the mind does not return to the spleen, which also leads to forgetfulness. If one's aspirations are lofty and far, but can not realize, one's mind and spirit are dissipated.
External symptoms: the syndrome of forgetfulness has some symptoms, amnesia is forgetfulness of things merely. He or she has a beginning in handling things, but there is no end, talk to someone but do not know the beginning and end.
