How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat hydrocephalus?

Living in this world, we will inevitably encounter various problems and twists and turns. When these problems arise, we must face them bravely and never retreat. Disease is a major problem that troubles all of us. When illness comes unexpectedly, don't worry, as long as you find the right method, you can definitely cure it. So how does traditional Chinese medicine treat hydrocephalus? Let me introduce it to you today.

The medicine for treating hydrocephalus is very simple, with only three ingredients. The first one is lotus leaves from the pond. Don’t underestimate the lotus leaf, it has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Moreover, the lotus leaf will lift you up, because its green color can enter the liver meridian, and its image is the Zhen Gua of Bagua. All plants of the Nymphaeaceae family have a very good effect on humans. As for lotus seeds, they are a very nutritious food and can be considered a nutritional supplement. Now the production volume has increased. A few hundred years ago, eating lotus seeds was a luxury enjoyment. Now because they are very cheap, only a hundred yuan per pound, everyone can afford to eat them and it is no longer a rarity. On the one hand, lotus leaves can dissolve blood stasis and on the other hand, they can ascend and lead medicine to the brain. If there is blood stasis or blocked blood vessels in the brain, lotus leaves can be used to clear it out.

The name of this prescription is Qingzhen Decoction. Qing means to clear. There is a prescription called Qingkong Paste, which is used to treat brain problems. Qing means to clear our brain and Zhen is the lotus leaf just mentioned, which is like the Zhen Gua.

The second medicine is Atractylodes lancea, which is a plant of the Asteraceae family. Both Atractylodes lancea and Atractylodes macrocephala belong to the Asteraceae family, but in fact they are different plants. Asteraceae plants have very good effects on the liver and gallbladder, so if you want to strengthen liver function, you can usually find these Asteraceae plants or foods or medicines to increase liver function. Lettuce, red amaranth, burdock and dandelion are all plants of the Asteraceae family. The insecticide in the early years was called pyrethrum, which also belongs to the Asteraceae family. Pyrethrum is a natural plant that can kill insects and will not cause any harm to the human body.

Finally, there is another herb called Cimicifuga, which belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. It is a detoxifying medicine with an ascending effect. Therefore, the ascending effect of Cimicifuga, combined with Atractylodes lancea, can absorb and swallow up exudates in our body, including the brain, any part of the body cavity, especially the stomach and intestines. If there is excess water, Atractylodes lancea has the ability to absorb and swallow it. If you are interested, go buy a bottle of Atractylodes lancea and put it away with the lid on. In less than a week, the powder of Atractylodes lancea will form a hard lump. Think about it, if it can absorb moisture from the air, then it can also absorb moisture from any part of the human body.

Since water brain has already appeared, use the help of Atractylodes lancea to absorb the moisture, and use the lotus leaf to remove the blocked part. The water brain will disappear and the person will wake up. What can Western medicine do except using a drainage tube? There is no other solution. If the drainage tube drains to the outside, it will cause meningitis. Many people with meningitis have fallen into a coma as a result.

I think our ancestors based their research on clinical trials involving millions of people. If the drug works, then it works; if there are side effects, then there are side effects; if it is not suitable for you, then there will definitely be some symptoms. This is a huge improvement over animal experiments.

Qingzhen Decoction was created by Liu Hejian. Mr. Hejian’s central idea was “dominant fire”, so it was called the “dominant fire school”. He believed that people became sick due to excessive fire, and when prescribing medicine, he often used purgative drugs such as rhubarb and Glauber's salt, so he was also called the "purgative school." This prescription is mainly used to treat thunder-head wind (because the head feels like thunder and the sound of wind is moving). The head is swollen and painful with bumps, chills and high fever, similar to typhoid fever. The three yang energies all gather at the forehead. From the forehead to the top of the head, the part connecting the back of the brain belongs to the Taiyang; from the forehead to the bottom of the nose belongs to the Yangming; from the bottom of the head to the middle of the ear and the front and back of the ear belongs to the Shaoyang. Li Dongyuan once said that if the disease is in the three yang meridians, one should not use excessive doses of cold medicines. One should not overdo it and should use Qingzhen Decoction to treat it. The ingredients of this prescription are Cimicifuga, Atractylodes macrocephala, and lotus leaf. It belongs to the medicine of Foot Yangming. Cimicifuga is yang in nature, sweet in taste and has a rising aroma, and can detoxify all kinds of poisons; Atractylodes is pungent and strong, and can dry out dampness and strengthen the spleen, and can prevent malaria. Cimicifuga and Atractylodes macrocephala are the local prescription of Shengma Decoction. The lotus leaf is green in color and fragrant, and its shape is upward and resembles a shock. It can help the clear yang in the stomach to move upward. Using sweet, warm, and pungent dispersing drugs to promote it can make the evil pass through from above, and consolidate the stomach qi, so that the evil does not spread inside and the effect can be seen.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a good understanding of how traditional Chinese medicine treats hydrocephalus. Although the decoction mentioned above only contains three herbs. But it can play a big role. So once you encounter this disease, you might as well try the above methods to treat it. I believe the disease will be eliminated soon.
