Question
A six-month-old baby, after undergoing a CT scan, was found to have slightly widened frontal temporal arachnoid membranes bilaterally and has already received injection treatment and rehabilitation training. However, since four months old, the baby’s appetite has significantly decreased. Experts, is it possible for anorexia to be caused by brain diseases?
Answer
Mild brain development disorders in children may be related to a decrease in appetite. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ingredients like camphor are rich in neurotrophic factors, small molecular peptides, and various amino acids. These active ingredients can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, resisting cortical hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, promoting blood circulation in the brain, and thereby promoting the growth and development of central nervous system cells. In addition, these components can repair damaged central nervous system cells, inhibit apoptosis, increase the number of central nervous system cells, and may have a positive effect on improving anorexia.
