A small needle is all it takes to cure anxiety or depression after a stroke

Speaking of stroke , it is enough to scare everyone. Cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral embolism, cerebral infarction, cerebral apoplexy and other standardized or unstandardized names can all be called stroke. Its most common clinical manifestation is that the person suddenly falls down, lies on the ground, and loses consciousness. After treatment, it is found that the person is hemiplegic, has slurred speech, walks in circles, and carries a basket with his arms.

Stroke patients are miserable enough, however, what is even more miserable is the anxiety/depression after the stroke. According to a survey, at least 40% to 50% of stroke patients are anxious/depressed after the stroke. This is not only caused by the sadness and irritability caused by the stroke, but more because the stroke occurs in the brain, and the brain disease itself causes anxiety/depression, an emotional disorder. "A strong body is healthy, and a happy heart is healthy." After the stroke, the anxious/depressed patients are not only "physically" not strong, but also "hearted". They are neither healthy nor healthy. What should they do?

Fortunately, we have a treasure handed down by our ancestors - Chinese medicine acupuncture . Chinese medicine acupuncture is a rare medical project in the world's intangible cultural heritage, with the characteristics of "I have what others don't, I am better than others, and I follow the master". Chinese medicine acupuncture has always been the vanguard of Chinese medicine going global. One golden needle after another serves people from all over the world and works hard for their physical and mental health. In the face of post-stroke anxiety/depression patients who are neither "healthy" nor "well", does Chinese medicine acupuncture have any magic formula?

The answer is yes. Post-stroke anxiety disorder is a series of psychological symptoms caused by stroke, due to "blood and qi running upwards", disordered qi and blood in the brain, loss of tranquility in the palace of the spirit, and disturbance of the mind and brain. The disease is located in the heart and brain. The heart stores the spirit and controls the spirit. Disturbance of the mind is the main pathogenesis of post-stroke anxiety/depression. Clinically verified, acupuncture intervention has an improving effect on post-stroke anxiety/depression.

In treatment, to regulate the "heart", use Xinshu and Shenmen . Xinshu is the key acupoint for regulating the heart. Shenmen is the original acupoint of the heart meridian, which can calm the mind and soothe the spirit. The two can be used together to regulate the "heart" spirit. To treat the "brain", use Baihui and Fengfu . These two acupoints are important acupoints for regulating the brain marrow. Using them together can regulate the brain marrow, calm the mind and stabilize the spirit. They are often used to treat emotional disorders and are suitable for treating anxiety and depression after stroke.

In addition to manual acupuncture intervention on these acupoints, electroacupuncture, warm acupuncture and other methods can also be used to treat patients according to their individual conditions to achieve precise treatment. Using small golden needles can solve the psychological problems of patients with anxiety/depression after stroke, and bring good news to the families of stroke patients.

Of course, acupuncture treatment needs to be performed in a regular hospital through diagnosis and treatment by professional acupuncturists .
