Features: This book introduces popular science knowledge about TCM health care and rehabilitation for post-stroke sequelae, emphasizing the practicality, accessibility, and scientific rigor of its content. The book covers seven aspects—“Understanding Post-Stroke Sequelae,” “Daily Care for Post-Stroke Sequelae,” “Dietary Therapy for Post-Stroke Sequelae,” “TCM Herbal Treatment for Post-Stroke Sequelae,” “Massage Therapy for Post-Stroke Sequelae,” “Simple Moxibustion Methods for Post-Stroke Sequelae,” and “Other TCM Therapies for Post-Stroke Sequelae”—providing an accessible introduction to the pathogenesis of post-stroke sequelae and various home-based rehabilitation and health care methods that are easy for patients and their families to perform. It has shifted away from the traditional textbook format, focusing on topics of reader interest to highlight the book’s “popular science” and “health care” characteristics. The content primarily emphasizes health care methods for post-stroke sequelae (including medicinal diets, herbal wines, patent medicines, decoctions, massage, and exercises), reducing overly specialized content on etiology and pathogenesis. The language is made as simple as possible, with difficult TCM terms minimized and necessary ones explained in detail and clearly. The editor’s goal is to enable readers to understand and master TCM health care and rehabilitation methods for post-stroke sequelae in a relaxed and enjoyable way. The primary readers of this book are post-stroke sequelae patients and their families.
