Question
What is the traditional Chinese medicine treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pediatric cerebral palsy is caused by insufficient liver and kidney essence, leading to insufficient brain nutrition and subsequently affecting muscle activity and limb coordination. Chinese medicine also considers that damp-heat obstruction may lead to insufficient Qi and blood, thereby triggering cerebral palsy. The aim of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is to regulate liver and kidney function, enhance the secretion of neurotransmitters in the brain, improve the immune system, and gradually restore the body’s balance.
