Stroke according to TCM
• High blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, stress and lack of exercise increase the risk of stroke.
• Blood stagnation, heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart valve and carotid artery disease can cause the formation of blood clots.
• Qi stagnation is often caused by stress or qi deficiency which obstructs the meridians and can cause blood vessels to burst.
• Phelgm accumulation, invasion of wind, excess fire or heat deficiency also contribute to stroke. Symptoms include slurred speech, numbness of the limbs, paralysis of the face or facial drooping.
