Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is most commonly seen in people over the age of 50. It affects the brain and causes the gradual death of nerve cells, specifically those that produce dopamine in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra. The brain becomes dominated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, resulting in the typical tremors, motor difficulties and psychological problems. The patient gradually loses control of his muscles, movement and speech.
There are several stages of Parkinson's disease. In the beginning, patients may give the impression of being healthy and attribute their difficulties not to brain disease but to advancing age. Around the age of 50, the disease begins in the cells mediating olfactory sensation, then symptoms progress to the Stomach, and therefore at this stage they feel its "fullness" as it were. The brain is only affected in the last stage. There the centre for movement is affected, which is increasingly difficult to control and bring under control. The body is dominated by spontaneous movements, and the controlled ones are difficult to perform. In addition to walking and balance, the ability to swallow and speech is also impaired, due to poor coordination of the muscles of the tongue and face, writing or sleep. The patient also experiences tingling of the lips and face.
A separate group, called 'Young Onset', consists of young people who experience muscle stiffness and slowness between the ages of 30 and 40.
Parkinson's disease is not directly hereditary, but predispositions can turn into disease over time due to external influences.
According to TCM, the main cause of Parkinson's disease lies in the depletion of the blood of the Liver and Kidney Yin. This results in a failure of nutrition and strengthening of the tendons and leads to tremors and spasms, stiffness and rigidity, and eventually contractions. Insufficiency of Yin leads to hyperactivity of Yang, this can cause the so-called Liver wind to rise up inside. Especially if the wind mixes with mucus and moisture, it can clog and block the network of pathways and connections, resulting in persistent trembling and shivering. Unmanaged emotions (unfulfilled desires, anger and frustration) can also affect the Liver negatively. They lose control over the flow of Qi and it begins to stagnate. Because "Qi moves the blood", stagnations to blockages can occur. On the one hand, static blood blocks the flow and nourishment of the tendons, on the other hand, it also inhibits the formation of "new" blood. Both can result in poor nutrition of the tendon cells with subsequent tremors, spasms, stiffness and contractures.
Sheng Ming Xi Feng Tang influences the above mechanism by replenishing Qi and blood so that stagnations and blockages are dislodged, thus making the pathways and joints clearer. The liver is "softened" by the nourishment,
the internal wind calms down, tremors and involuntary movements cease, and the mobility and mobility of the whole body improves. The patient can control his body again and his vital energy level and, of course, his mood improve.
Indications:
-trembling of the hands at rest, spasms and contractures.
-tremor of the body, possibly also tremor of the head
-aggravation of tremor by emotion and fatigue
-spontaneous movement of the fingers, as when counting money
-stiffness of the body, especially of the neck and back
-slightly bent knees and elbows
-stooped posture
-movement problems
-slowed gait, difficulty taking a step
-balance disorder
-fatigue and weakness
-aversion to cold
-bluish-pale face, stiffness of the face
-dizziness and vertigo
-shortness of breath, reluctance to speak and difficulty speaking
-spontaneous sweating
-heaviness in the stomach
-mushy stools
Modern Uses:
-parkinson's disease
-Other forms of Parkinsonism (a group of diseases that have similar clinical symptoms to Parkinson's disease but have a different cause):
-pollen (when taking drugs that block dopamine production)
-induced by toxins
-after infection
-after an injury
-for brain degeneration or other forms of dementia
Language:
-pale
-swollen
-with teeth marks
Pulse:
-xian event. xi
-wei (stringy, possibly fine to slight)
Contraindications:
-not known
Notes:
Sheng Ming Xi Feng Tang is a tonic and therefore usually takes some time (2 to 3 months) to fully manifest its effects. It is not simply addressing the "top" of the problem - the stoppage of the tremor, at the same time the nutrition is addressing the cause - the "root" of the disease.
