Trigeminal neuralgia and facial paralysis belong to which system disease of traditional Chinese medicine?
According to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, trigeminal neuralgia is caused by pathogenic factors in the meridians of Sanyang. As the old saying goes, "On the top of the mountain, only the wind can reach it". According to the characteristics of the pain attack of this disease, it is similar to the changeable characteristics of wind. Therefore, it can be concluded that trigeminal neuralgia is the combination of the three yang meridians of the hand and the "angle" (lateral head); The meridians and tendons of the foot are combined with the "pigeon" (cheek). Traditional Chinese medicine believes that trigeminal neuralgia and facial paralysis are caused by internal and external factors such as wind-cold, damp-heat, exogenous pathogenic factors, kidney deficiency and excessive fire, hyperactivity of liver fire, weakness of spleen and stomach, and pain entering collaterals for a long time. However, the three yang tendons are blocked by evil, the meridians are blocked, the qi and blood are not smooth, and the trigeminal nerve is dysfunctional. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes the combination of treatment and maintenance, treats both the symptoms and root causes, adopts earlobe therapy and external therapy to treat all kinds of trigeminal neuralgia, follows the profound theory of Chinese medicine, and emphasizes individualized treatment and the combination of nourishing and treatment.
