Patient's question:
It seems like I have Tourette syndrome. I heard that traditional Chinese medicine is effective for treating illnesses. What traditional Chinese medicine is good for Tourette syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Tics are similar to the wind in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As for which Chinese herbal medicine to use, it depends on the specific symptoms. Therefore, you should consult a professional TCM practitioner. After a diagnosis is made through the TCM methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, a prescription can be provided for treatment, which will be very effective. While undergoing treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet, eat less spicy and fishy foods, and pay attention to dietary health care.
