There were many ways to treat epilepsy. There were a few common methods of treatment: 1. [Dispelling Wind, Detoxification and Epileptosis-stopping Method]: It is suitable for epilepsy caused by wind evil. There was a difference between external wind and internal wind. External wind is mostly caused by wind-cold or rheumatism, which enters from the mouth, nose or fur. If the wind evil is blocked in the meridians, severe headache, numbness of the limbs and other symptoms can be seen. External wind should be evacuated. For those caused by wind-cold, wind-dispelling drugs are often used to treat headache epilepsy, rheumatism and other external attacks. Internal wind is caused by hyperactivity of liver-yang or internal movement of yin deficiency, wind carrying phlegm and blood stasis disturbing the spirit, causing epilepsy and convulsion. In clinical practice, internal wind is more common. For patients with strong convulsion and wind due to excess heat of the liver meridian, such as Lu's Linggou Xifeng Powder, it can not only extinguish wind and stop spasm, but also clear liver heat and quickly stop epilepsy. If the patient had long-term epilepsy, physical weakness, small convulsion or limited attacks, he should increase the drugs to strengthen the body. 2. [Suppressing Terror, Calming Mind, Regulating Qi and Stopping Epilepsies]: This method is suitable for epilepsy induced by excessive emotional factors such as panic. This type of patients with epilepsy were accompanied by screaming, fear, uneasiness, muscle twitching, abnormal laughter, and loss of consciousness. They were usually timid and easily frightened, restless, less sleep and more dreams, and emotional depression. For patients with excess syndrome, they could choose Jinshi medicine and other drugs with strong texture, and they could be combined with drugs that could clear heat and purge fire, calm the liver and suppress yang. For patients with insufficient heart blood or liver yin deficiency, they could use drugs that could nourish the heart and calm the mind, soften the liver and restrain the spirit to carry out reasonable modification. For example, due to excessive emotion, anger and epilepsy, the method of qi circulation and depression can be used; For those with poor emotion and sluggish mind, Lu's Jiawei Xiaoyao Powder can be used to regulate qi and relieve depression. 3. ** Kidney and liver nourishing essence method for treating epilepsy **: Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the root of the birth, and the marrow is the main brain. Epilepsies caused by insufficient natural endowments, such as primary epilepsy or those caused by hereditary factors or congenital defects of the brain, as well as long-term illness, long-term illness injuring the kidney, and deficiency of both the liver and the kidney forming a virtual wind that causes convulsions and convulsions, can be treated with the method of nourishing the kidney, which can also nourish the liver. If the liver-yin (blood) is enriched, the liver-wind can naturally be extinguished. When convulsions occur frequently, it is often to first expel wind, expel phlegm, clear heat, and calm the symptoms. When the liver-wind is calm and the phlegm heat has been cleared, then use the medicine to nourish the kidney and liver to slowly treat the root. Nourishing the liver and kidney should choose the medicine with moderate strength to slowly nourish and warm, and the effect will be seen over time. 4. [Spleen Invigorating and Qi Replenishing Epileptics Method: Often used during the resting period of epilepsy. It is suitable for patients with symptoms such as yellowish complexion, emaciated body, frequent sweating, and loss of appetite.] In addition, old Chinese medicine doctors like Professor Wang Jingjing created famous prescriptions such as "Yuxian Ling" to treat epilepsy.

For example, there was an old man in a mental hospital in Shanghai. His children regarded him as a burden and did not visit him. His daughter took his retirement salary card but did not pay the fee. No one took him home after his treatment. 3. ** Special circumstances ** - During the treatment process, according to the relevant laws and regulations, if a patient with mental disorder had or was about to have an act that harmed himself, endangered the safety of others, or disturbed the medical order in the medical institution, and there were no other alternative measures, the medical institution and its medical staff could implement protective medical measures such as restraint and isolation.
