Stroke is a general term for acute cerebrovascular diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a disease characterized by sudden fainting and unconsciousness, accompanied by mouth deviation, language disorder and hemiplegia. Because of its high incidence, high mortality, high disability rate, high recurrence rate and many complications, the medical community ranks it as one of the three major diseases that threaten human health, along with coronary heart disease and cancer. The importance of preventing stroke has attracted the attention of medical circles at home and abroad, and doctors are exploring preventive measures for stroke from various aspects.
