Patient's question:
Poor diet, headache, chest tightness, how is the initial treatment for optic atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a significant effect on treating optic atrophy. It is recommended to choose the "Vision Clear Brightness Therapy" in TCM. This therapy is based on the theoretical foundation of human's Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Through the four diagnostic methods of inspection, auscultation-olfaction, inquiry, and palpation, it explores the causes, nature, and location of the disease, judges the balance between pathogenic factors and healthy Qi, and ultimately determines the treatment outcome.Leveraging the TCM theory of "treating the exterior must address the interior, and treating the interior must address the root," this therapy is formed through exploration and then comprehensively repairs the patient's body, regulating the balance among various organs within the body. Guided by the principles of nourishing blood, soothing the liver, regulating Qi, resolving depression, boosting Qi, consolidating the exterior, dispelling wind, and eliminating pathogenic factors, it combines the essence of traditional TCM with modern medical techniques to rapidly remove internal symptoms and achieve the effect of treating the surface while strengthening the root.
