= urgent = Epilepsy?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

One of our neighbor boy, 12 Yrs old, suffering from (epilepcy) fits and

lost his consciousness. Just now I recieved a call from her mom and told

that he is having fits now, biting his tongue and slowly goes into loss of

consciousness.

 

I advised them to massage Du-26, Lu-9 and K-1. Now he is OK. What else to

do? Please send me if you have any article regarding this.

 

What to do as emergency case? He used to intake allopathic tablet every day

since 3 yrs. Nothing Happened as cure.

 

Please explain and send me something good

 

Thanks,

Mubarack

Thanks for a very detailed and excellent post on possible TCM syndromes

connected to epilepsy.

 

For those new to TCM: TCM syndromes rarely correspond to Western-defined

medical problems. Instead, different TCM syndromes can give rise to the

same Western-defined medical problem. What TCM healers analyze and correct

are TCM imbalances. What helps one person with epilepsy may do nothing for

a second person with epilepsy and may even hurt a third because the

underlying TCM imbalances are different in all three cases.

 

Note how this is broken down into what to do during the seizure and what to

do after the seizure. TCM pays a lot of attention to not only treating

pressing symptoms (during seizure) but to identifying and correcting

underlying imbalances which give rise to the pressing symptoms (after the

seizure).

 

Not all cases of joint Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency, Deficiency of the

Spleen and Stomach, etc. will manifest as epileptic seizures. There is a

wide range of biological diversity among humans.

 

What this post does - like all the best articles on TCM and Western-defined

medical symptoms - is to give the most common TCM syndromes that can be

associated with certain Western-defined medical conditions. This can be a

great learning tool and confidence-building tool for doctors and other

Western healthcare professionals who are starting to learn TCM and

incorporate it into their practices. It can mean the difference between a

doctor or other Western healthcare professional staying with the study of

TCM because s/he doesn't have to learn all the TCM symdromes at once but can

narrow it down to a few possibilities, and the person dropping the study of

TCM because it can be so overwhelming in the beginning. It also can be a

confidence-builder when a healthcare professional such as a doctor who is

beginning to use TCM thinks that a particular person fits the profile for

joint liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency or Spleen and Stomach Deficiency or

whatever, and then has it verified that yes, the particular TCM syndrome can

be associated with a particular Western-defined medical problem.

 

The book The Web That Has No Weaver also uses this approach in some sections

of the book. This is a very good book for beginners as well as for

students.
