What causes benign brain tumors and Chinese medicine?

 According to Chinese medicine, the development of benign brain tumors is believed to be influenced by various factors that disrupt the body's balance and energy flow. Here are some common factors and patterns associated with the development of benign brain tumors from a Chinese medicine perspective:

  1. Phlegm accumulation: Phlegm is considered a pathological substance that can accumulate in the body due to factors such as poor diet, improper digestion, and a sedentary lifestyle. Over time, the accumulation of phlegm can obstruct the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood in the body, potentially leading to the formation of tumors.


  2. Blood stasis: Stagnant blood refers to a condition where the circulation of blood becomes sluggish or obstructed. This can occur due to factors such as trauma, chronic illness, or prolonged emotional stress. Blood stasis is believed to contribute to the development of tumors, including benign brain tumors.


  3. Constitutional imbalances: Chinese medicine recognizes that each individual has a unique constitutional makeup that influences their susceptibility to certain health conditions. Constitutional imbalances, such as deficiencies or excesses in certain organ systems, can contribute to the development of benign brain tumors.


  4. External pathogenic factors: In Chinese medicine, external pathogenic factors such as environmental toxins, excessive exposure to damp or damp-heat conditions, and certain infectious diseases are considered potential factors that can contribute to the development of tumors.

To address benign brain tumors from a Chinese medicine perspective, the treatment approach aims to restore the body's balance, resolve phlegm, promote blood circulation, and strengthen the underlying organ systems. This is typically done through a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications, as mentioned in the previous response.

Acupuncture Ups Memory and Protects Brain Cells

New research reveals that acupuncture prevents brain cell loss in memory areas of the brain. The new laboratory findings also show that acupuncture improves cognition. The researchers note that these findings suggest that acupuncture is a potential treatment for cognitive impairment disorders and Alzheimer’s disease. Acupuncture Needles The new laboratory findings show that acupuncture prevents neuron loss in the hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for memory and spatial navigation. The hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain that suffers damage in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Using the Morris water maze test, the middle-aged mice used in the study who received acupuncture showed significantly less cognitive deficits. The combination of improved maze test results combined with greater preservation of brain neurons prompted the researchers to suggest that acupuncture may help human subjects suffering from cognitive disorders. The researchers note, “Thes...

whispered shadow,

 T he eternal dance between yin and yang. Yin, the whispered shadow, the elusive essence that cradles the soul in its tender embrace. A murmur of quietude, a recess of contemplation, yin resides as the dormant womb from whence all life finds its genesis. And then yang, the unrelenting vitality, the surge of fervor that propels the spirit forth. It blazes in the zenith sun, an unrestrained crescendo of existence. Yang is the crescendo of action, the fervid call to movement and assertion, the pulse of life's heartbeat echoing through the corridors of time. This dance, this ceaseless intertwining, as intricate as the inner workings of the mind, as elaborate as the stories spun through the ages. It is a dance of harmony, where yin and yang find their equilibrium, where the symphony of life attains its most harmonious chord. But equilibrium is a delicate construct, a house of cards perched on the precipice of imbalance. An excess of yang, an untempered fire, or an unchecked yin, a sea o...
