Question
Can intellectual disability be cured?
Answer
Intellectual disability is a group of diseases characterized by significantly lower general intellectual function than age-appropriate levels, accompanied by adaptive behavior defects. Depending on the described conditions, it may lead to the recurrence of symptoms such as ‘dementia’, ‘five delays’, ‘abortion’, and ‘craniotomy’. The main treatment methods involve replenishing the kidneys, nourishing the heart, and regulating the liver. Additionally, using ‘awakening the brain and transforming nature’ can enhance blood circulation, offering some effects of promoting blood flow and cooling blood. Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment can effectively improve children’s memory, thereby enhancing their language expression abilities. In severe cases, acupuncture can be administered, which has a very good therapeutic effect on incomplete brain development, sequelae of various encephalitis, and intellectual disability.
