Patient's question:
How is optic neuritis treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine? A half month ago, I lost vision in both eyes. The diagnosis upon examination was optic neuritis. Symptoms include complete loss of vision in both eyes. Hormone medication administered through intravenous drip has shown some effectiveness but not ideal. The condition developed a half month ago, and the cause is unknown. What kind of help is desired: How is optic neuritis treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) adopts the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment to regulate and treat conditions. Based on syndrome differentiation, TCM classifies and treats various syndromes. For qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, the treatment involves soothing the liver, resolving depression, promoting qi circulation and blood flow, and completely eliminating the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency. This ultimately achieves the therapeutic effect of improving eyesight, making it a treatment for miscellaneous diseases. Tolerant treatment can lead to relatively ideal results. It is hoped that this can help you. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
