Core Tip

Core Tip: Severe stroke is an acute and critical disease of the nervous system, which is a group of diseases that cause brain tissue damage due to the sudden rupture of brain vessels or the failure of blood to flow into the brain due to vascular obstruction. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease belongs to the category of "stroke.” There is evidence that lack of multi-factor endowment, aging, and yang hyperactivity wind, or drinking of syrup, overeating fat, climate change and other incentives result in viscera dysfunction, qi and blood disturbance, disturbing the brain orifices, and channeling the meridians for stroke.
