In traditional Chinese medicine, there is no name for Tourette's syndrome, which belongs to the category of "slow convulsive wind", and in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "when the wind is prosperous, it moves", "all winds are dizzy, all belong to the liver, and all violent and rigid are all wind".

Later generations of doctors believe that the external causes of this disease can be attributed to wind, heat, and fire, and the internal causes are liver and blood (yin) deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, spleen deficiency and phlegm accumulation, and heart fire disturbance.

The heart and liver are hot, and the internal wind is disturbed, and there are twitches. The liver is the main tendon, and the lack of liver yin cannot nourish the tendons and veins, and the tendons and veins lose their nutrients, and spasms and even violent convulsions will occur. Spleen deficiency causes phlegm and dampness to accumulate and flow to all meridians of the body, which will induce liver wind, wind and phlegm to interfere with each other, aggravate the symptoms of tics, and make it recur.

In the past 40 years of clinical practice, I have summed up some experience in the treatment of pediatric tics, and I have been optimistic about tens of thousands of children, so I have this confidence to say that it is easy to treat parents.

Today let's talk about a typical case of hyperhepatic rheumatism:

Sun, male, 12 years old, he had involuntary twitching of the corners of his mouth and eyes and sniffing after he got angry with his classmates two weeks ago.

Recently, he blinked, rolled his eyes, frowned, and had an irritable temperament, and his mother took him to the hospital when she noticed that something was wrong, and she was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. I didn't ask for the western medicine prescribed by the hospital, so I came directly to see a Chinese medicine.

Look at its red face, poor sleep, red tongue, thin white moss, and the number of pulses. This child's syndrome is liver wind disturbing the nerves, and the treatment is to clear the liver and diarrhea, relieve wind and stop spasms.

Prescription: parsnip, nepeta, chrysanthemum, grain essence grass, Zhimu, white zombie silkworm, gall star, Xinyi, Xanthium, Bupleurum, gentian, mountain mast, stone cassia, gastrodia, hook vine.

Treat both the symptoms and the root causes to achieve the best results. After 1 week of follow-up consultation, the blinking and nasal sucking improved significantly, and the mood was slightly stable.

The above plus or minus continued treatment for 3 months and healed. No recurrence has been observed so far during follow-up.

Tell me about my treatment ideas:

The liver is rigid, active, angry, yin and yang in the body, which is the foundation of the extreme, and the qi of the main body. Children often have more liver, if the internal and external causes of liver qi discomfort, qi depression and fire or liver yang is hyperactive, it will induce liver wind, and the wind will move, so there will be tics.

His symptoms include strong tics, loud voice in the throat, irritability, and red complexion. The treatment is to clear the liver and diarrhea fever, relieve wind and stop spasms, and use gentian diarrheal liver pills to add or subtract.

In the face of the same children with hyperhepatosis, the treatment method should be flexible, I think on the basis of dispelling wind and stopping spasmodic, it is necessary to combine the etiology and concomitant syndrome differentiation of the five organs, some children have similar symptoms on the surface, but in fact, the internal causes are different, and they cannot be generalized.

After reviewing the evidence and seeking the cause, and then sending the prescription to take the medicine, you will find that Tourette's syndrome is a "little bug", and it can be solved with a light pat.
