As we all know, cerebrovascular disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease that seriously jeopardizes human health, with high morbidity, high morbidity, high mortality, and high recurrence rate. Stroke is particularly harmful in all cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The 2016 China Stroke Prevention Report shows that there are more than 2 million stroke patients every year in China; more than 1.8 million patients die each year from stroke. Most of the surviving patients also cause disability, bringing about family and social problems. A great burden.
Stroke is what we often call a stroke. In recent years, the mortality rate of stroke among young people has also shown an upward trend. This will undoubtedly give people a wake-up call. The director of Acupuncture and Moxibustion specialist Zhou Zhenkun of Dongcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital stated that there are several high-risk factors for causing stroke, and smoking is the first to bear the brunt, followed by high spirits, less exercise, high blood pressure, and alcohol consumption. In the treatment of stroke, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine as an important treatment measure for clinical primary stroke prevention can reduce the potential risk factors for stroke through targeted interventions. Thus reducing the incidence of people.
Bad habits such as smoking easily lead to stroke
According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, 1 in every 6 people in the world may suffer a stroke, 1 in every 6 seconds, and 1 in every 6 seconds. Stroke has become the first cause of death for residents in China, and is known as the "first killer" of Chinese people's health.
There are many causes of stroke, of which hypertension, diabetes, and high blood lipids are all risk factors for stroke. These factors are also well-known to the public and can be taken seriously. However, there is also a very important aspect - unhealthy lifestyle, but also an important risk factor for stroke.
The characteristics of Chinese residents' diets are large proportion of fat intake, excessive salt intake, insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables, which is one of the causes of high cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, there are 350 million smokers in China, and there is a trend towards younger age of smoking. 50% of the population suffers from passive smoking. There are more than 3,800 chemical substances in tobacco smoke that cause vasoconstriction and induce vasospasm, which is the second risk factor for myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
However, these risk factors are not uncontrollable. Research suggests that long-term control of risk factors can prevent most strokes. Among them, maintaining a good lifestyle can significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and mortality.
Understanding Aura Symptoms Helps Stroke Prevention
Before the onset of cerebrovascular disease, there will usually be symptoms of aura, such as transient numbness, weakness, some people suddenly take things in the hands, suddenly walk when the leg soft fall; sometimes sudden burst of blindness or blurred vision, walk Can not go straight; someone suddenly aphasia, unclear words, or "heart to understand" but it is difficult to express symptoms such as early warning.
Director Zhou Zhenkun said that the treatment of stroke aura symptoms is particularly important in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke. Because of the presence of aura prognosticators, about one-third of people experience a stroke in 3 to 5 years, and about 1 in 10 of them have a period of three. A stroke occurs between months and six months. The first-level prevention emphasizes the fact that no disease is ruled before the disease, not the disease. This is actually a major feature of Chinese medicine treatment. Therefore, when the symptoms of stroke have appeared, they should be highly valued. “First of all, if you go to the hospital for a systematic examination, if the results of the physical examination are normal and the indicators are normal, Western medicine often has no corresponding treatment method. Chinese medicine will clear the meridians through the silver needles, and the traditional Chinese medicine will adjust the viscera and blood in order to resolve the risk factors in a timely manner and naturally reduce the occurrence of diseases. â€
In our daily lives, we often hear people feel dizzy, point a bit of a course of treatment, and eat a lot of drugs are not good symptoms, then acupuncture will be able to play its unique advantages, the needle to get rid of; some people even young people often complain that Recently, memory has decreased significantly, and even completely forgotten; attention is not easy to focus on, problems are difficult to think about, and learning work efficiency is reduced. Acupuncture at Baihui will ease tension and increase attention. "Acupuncture and moxibustion Chinese medicine is an important treatment measure for clinical stroke's primary prevention, and it is also a manifestation of TCM's 'treating the disease'."
Chinese medicine treatment stroke emphasizes "no disease first rule"
For the treatment of stroke, the medical community has always emphasized the role of prevention. The prevention of stroke is divided into primary prevention and secondary prevention. "Primary prevention" refers to prevention before the onset of disease, that is, through early changes to unhealthy lifestyles, proactively controlling various risk factors for treatment to achieve the goal of not causing stroke (or delaying the age of onset). Secondary prevention means prevention of recurrent brain stroke after illness.
Director Zhou Zhenkun said that primary prevention is to reduce the risk factors for stroke, and high risk factors for stroke, including smoking, mental stress, low physical activity, high blood pressure, alcohol consumption, etc., can be targeted by acupuncture. Intervention, such as auricular acupuncture can inhibit smoking, help quit smoking; acupuncture Baihui, Sishencong can relieve mental stress; acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine can improve the body metabolism, adjust yin and yang to prevent disease; acupuncture, auricular, moxibustion, Chinese medicine can be controlled Smooth blood pressure and so on. In addition, physical examination and physical examination show that cerebral arteriosclerosis or hypertension, or blood lipids, increased blood viscosity, cerebral blood flow map with insufficient blood supply to change the carotid plaque, vascular stenosis, heart disease, diabetes, is more likely in the near future Cerebrovascular disease occurs.
Chinese medicine effectively prevents recurrence of stroke
The high recurrence rate is one of the characteristics of cerebrovascular disease. It is also very important to prevent secondary recurrence. It is mainly aimed at patients who already have cerebrovascular disease. Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese medicine to treat the sequelae of stroke patients can improve the quality of life and prevent cerebral blood vessels. The recurrence of the disease.
Zhou Zhenkun said that stroke rehabilitation is a long-term diagnosis and treatment process. Some patients with post-stroke physical disorders, speech disorders, drinking water cough, the sooner after the intervention in traditional Chinese medicine treatment of acupuncture, the lower the disability rate, the better the recovery. Acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment of cerebrovascular disease recovery period is mainly through dredging the meridians, promoting the restructuring of damaged nerve tissue, restore disability function.
After the acute phase of cerebral stroke, some patients developed coughing and coughing due to drinking water. Difficulty in swallowing caused this patient to wear a nasogastric feeding tube because of inability to self-feed. Long-term wearing of the tube easily caused complications such as inhalation pneumonia and stomach bleeding. The acupuncture and moxibustion items at the acupoints and scalp acupuncture point, 7-10 days 90% of patients can eat independently, improve the quality of life.
For patients with language disorders, Zhou Zhenkun uses tongue needles, sublingual stabbing and bleeding, dialectical oral Chinese medicine, and simultaneous patient speech training, allowing patients to easily communicate with others. Zhou Zhenkun pointed out that encephalopathy is related to emotions, that is, mental stress and stress. For this group of people, Chinese medicine practitioners believe that the fire tends to extend upwards. When the fire and anger are out of control, it is like fuel encountering Mars and jumping into the air, it will burn everything around it. “A lot of people are under long-term workload pressure and have long-term accumulation of anger and heart fire. When they encounter an emergency, they can easily climb up to their heads, causing blood in the head to run rampant, and the liver winds moving, causing stroke. It has the characteristics of 'wind'. In the treatment, acupuncture is the best choice for Fengchi, Fengfu, and Sishen Cong, in order to 'reach the wind and evil up above the high sorghum', clearing the eyesight and eyesight, and calming the nerves."
Stroke recovery period should pay attention to a reasonable diet
The recovery of stroke patients also requires a reasonable diet.
