WANG Jihong's experience in treatment of post-stroke hypermyotonia with "trinity" approach of Lai's tongyuan therapy
This article introduces the clinical experience of Professor
WANG Jihong
in treatment of post-stroke hypermyotonia with
Lai
's
tongyuan
therapy (therapy for removing obstruction and consolidating vital essence). Regarding the pathogenesis of this disease
Professor
WANG Jihong
emphasizes a "trinity" approach
"the mind disturbed
qi
and blood unbalanced
and
yuan
(vital essence) not consolidated". In treatment
"the unblocking
conducting and nourishing are taken as the fundamental" to "prevent from over-dredging
balancing
yin
and
yang
and avoiding over-replenishing". In clinical practice
the combined measure is adopted with acupuncture
tuina
and h
erbal medicine. In acupuncture
the acupoints are selected according to the front-back combination of the points of the conception vessel and the governor vessel (basic prescription: Yintang [GV24
+
]
Baihui [GV20
]
and Niesanzhen; prescription for promoting the governor vessel: Dazhui (GV14)
Jinsuo [GV8
]
Xinshu [BL15
]
Pishu [BL20
]
and etc.; and the prescription for consolidating the vital essence: Danzhong (CV17)
Zhongwan [CV12
]
Tianshu [ST25
]
Qihai [CV6
]
) and etc.
as well as those on the four limbs for "opening
closing and pivoting of
yin
and
yang
" (on the upper limbs of the affected side: Jiquan [HT1
]
Jianyu [LI15
]
Quchi [LI11
]
Quze [PC3
]
and etc.; on the lower limbs of the affected side: Huantiao [GB30
]
Liangqiu [ST34
]
Xuehai [SP10
]
Yanglingquan [GB34
]
) and etc. The above points co-act on regulating the conception vessel and the governor vessel
and balancing
yin
and
yang
.
Tuina
is delivered on the governor vessel
the bladder meridian of foot-
taiyang
and wind points on the area between the head and nape
so as to promote the governor vessel
benefit the orifices
strengthen the spine and relax tendons. Herbal medicine works on nourishing the liver to soften tendons
nourishing blood to remove wind
regulating
qi
to replenish the spleen
consolidating the root to cultivate the vital essence
activating blood circulation to unblock meridians
and removing stasis to resolve phlegm.
Tongyuan
therapy provides a certain instruction in treatment of post-stroke hypermyotonia.
