Western Views of Stroke and its Causes
Cerebrovascular accident, commonly referred to as stroke, accounts for most cases of neurological disability in the West. In general terms, the condition is directly related to a disturbance of blood flow in the brain. Since actions like moving or speaking are governed by specific areas in the brain, a direct injury or deprivation of blood flow to these areas will cause lasting damage, which typically manifests as paralysis, slurred speech patterns, or a variety of other stroke symptoms. Most...
Ancient Chinese Views of Stroke
In the Chinese medical tradition, deliberations about the origins and treatment of stroke related conditions span over more than two millennia. Since the condition has traditionally been considered to be one of the “four major problems in internal medicine” (neike si dabing), stroke chapters occupy a prominent place in virtually all of the works that make up the defining body of traditional Chinese medicine. Beginning with the Huangdi Neijing (Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor), a variety of...
Modern Chinese Views of Stroke
Although debates on the aetiology and treatment of cerebrovascular accident continue in modern times, most contemporary doctors act according to therapeutic principles derived from the internal wind theory. The standard formula textbook produced by the PRC’s Ministry of Health in 1989 features a chapter which is exclusively devoted to the method of “extinguishing internal wind” (pingxiao neifeng). A further indication of how the internal wind theory has almost completely replaced notions of e...
1. Yin Deficiency and Liver Yang Flare Up
Although Liu Wansu, Zhang Jingyue, and Ye Tianshi had talked about the idea of internal essence (yin) exhaustion giving rise to wind, it was not until the beginning of this century that a formula was designed which proved to be effective on a wide-scale basis. Zhang Xichun, perhaps the most eminent physician of the modern era, took a particular interest in the treatment of stroke. Zhang primarily practised in early 20th century Shanghai, and it may be that the rising commercial centre with al...
2. Phlegm
While yin deficiency fire effulgence is mostly observed during the stage of an impending stroke, signs of phlegm are the ones most often pronounced during and immediately after a cerebrovascular accident. The typical stroke victim suddenly becomes unconscious, falls to the ground, and drools from the mouth. Apparently, the Shanghan lun author Zhang Zhongjing had already recognised the importance of phlegm removal as an emergency measure inn!! kinds of life-threatening situations. Da Cheng Qi...
3. Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis
Like the early “internal wind” proponents Liu Wansu and Zhu Danxi, the eminent 13thcentury physician Li Dongyuan helped to pioneer the notion that stroke really has little to do with external wind invasion. Rather than focusing on heat or phlegm as the causative factors of the internal wind, however, he emphasised that the problem is often a result of severe Qi deficiency, a condition he termed “excess form and deficient Qi.” Even though he himself did not elaborate on the exact mechanism by...
During the last twenty years Chinese researchers have turned out a flood of reports on different approaches and remedies for various types and stages of stroke. The highly variegated studies and research papers reveal that the age old debate on stroke is by no means over, and that the process of standardising diagnostic categories and defining a st...
