Herbs for post cerebral infarction patients? Western medicine?

  Cerebral infarction has the characteristics of “high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate and many complications”, i.e. “four highs and one more”. Even with the application of the most advanced and perfect treatments, more than 50% of the cerebral infarction survivors are still unable to take care of themselves completely because of symptoms such as hemiplegia, limb disorder and speech disorder. That is, cerebral infarction sequelae (cerebral infarction hemiplegia, also known as hemiplegia, refers to the movement disorder of one upper and lower limb, facial muscle and lower tongue muscle, which is a common symptom of cerebral infarction. Although patients with mild hemiplegia can still move, they often walk with upper limbs flexed and lower limbs straightened, and the paralyzed lower limbs walk in a half circle with one step. In severe cases, the patient is often bedridden and loses the ability to live. According to the degree of hemiplegia, it can be divided into mild paralysis, incomplete paralysis and total paralysis. (Mild paralysis: manifested as reduced muscle strength, muscle strength at level 4-5, generally does not affect daily life, incomplete paralysis is heavier than mild paralysis, with a larger range, muscle strength at level 2-4, total paralysis: muscle strength at level 0-1, paralyzed limb completely unable to move) The reason why patients with cerebral infarction have sequelae such as hemiplegia and speech impairment It is due to blood lesions such as high blood viscosity, high blood lipids, high blood pressure and platelet aggregation within the brain tissue, and vascular lesions such as atherosclerotic plaque formation and lumen narrowing, as a result of the combined effect of the two lesions. If it affects the central nervous system of the motor nerve controlled by the brain, hemiplegia and other corresponding sequelae will occur (in terms of the division of labor in the human brain hemispheres, the right hemisphere manages the left limb movement through the motor center; the left hemisphere, through the motor nerve, manages the right limb movement. A lesion on either side can lead to hemiplegia on the opposite side). If the central nerve of speech controlled by the cerebral nerve is affected, it will lead to corresponding neurological signs and symptoms such as speech impairment or even aphasia. To effectively improve the occurrence of cerebral infarction hemiplegia, unfavorable language and other sequelae and reduce the threat of disease recurrence, patients should be treated with reliable medication, i.e., through blood and vascular lesions at the same time, to improve damaged brain cells, protect undamaged cells, create a good intracerebral environment, prevent the re-formation of thrombus and atherosclerotic plaque from again, while reasonable dietary regulation and active and passive training for functional rehabilitation The treatment means of blocking blood vessels should be the key to the recovery of patients with the sequelae of cerebral infarction.  Western medicine has the advantages of fast onset of action and targeted treatment for the sequelae of cerebral infarction, but it has a single target, while modern traditional Chinese medicine can treat the blood and blood vessels at the same time, and most western medicine will produce drug resistance, while most western medicine has obvious side effects; and most traditional Chinese medicine is slow in onset of action, but so for patients with the sequelae of cerebral infarction, Chinese medicine is the main treatment, supplemented by targeted western medicine, in order to To achieve the treatment purpose of increasing the effectiveness and reducing the toxicity and treating both the symptoms and the root cause, to achieve the multiple treatment effects of effectively improving the symptoms, shortening the course of the disease and preventing recurrence.
