Unconscious trembling of the hands, feet, and head should fall under the category of wind. The primary treatment should focus on the liver, while fully utilizing the nourishment of the kidneys. Since the liver and kidneys share a common origin, it is especially important to warm and nourish the yin of the kidneys and calm the liver to subdue the wind.Recommendations: If an elderly person newly experiences this condition, the first consideration should be whether it is a cerebrovascular accident or a premonitory sign. A head CT or MRI should be performed to rule out the possibility of lacunar infarction. Additionally, a thorough examination of the cervical spine is necessary, as some tremors may be cervical-origin tremors caused by high cervical spine lesions.
Lifestyle Management: Treatment should be implemented based on the underlying cause. Herbal medicines that nourish the liver and kidneys can be taken, and acupuncture can be used in conjunction for complementary effects.
