Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what the most advanced medical techniques for treating essential tremor are?Doctor's answer:
Currently, we do not possess many of the most advanced treatment methods for this disease, and there have been no particularly significant advancements. Idiopathic tremor can be managed through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for regulation. TCM believes that the recurrence of this disease is due to the deficiency of the five internal organs, with the primary cause being the severe deficiency of the liver and kidneys. These factors can lead to internal liver wind stirring, resulting in the onset of the disease.In terms of treatment, TCM theory recommends nourishing the kidney water to cultivate the liver wood, which usually yields good results. Once the severe deficiency is corrected, the tremor will naturally subside. Traditional Chinese Medicine, by tonifying the liver and kidneys and nourishing yin to extinguish wind, provides protective effects for the body's nerve cells. Essentially, it addresses the disease at its root. Thank you.
