Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with the serious condition of Tourette Syndrome after a thorough examination at the hospital. Hello, what are the Chinese herbal medicines for Tourette Syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Tourette syndrome is a complex of multiple involuntary tics, characterized by language or behavioral disorders. It is a chronic condition, and current Western medicine treatment is the primary approach, while traditional Chinese medicine treatment is merely a supplementary method. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for this condition is determined based on the different symptoms exhibited. Tourette syndrome generally involves neurological disorders and should be treated with Western medicine, while traditional Chinese medicine is used for regulation, such as calming the liver and extinguishing wind with herbs like musk, Uncaria, Saposhnikoviae, and antelope horn.
