Lu Xuan sighed, and while performing acupuncture, he said, "Actually, emergency treatments in traditional Chinese medicine have not disappeared. Take a stroke for example; the understanding in traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. In Chinese medicine, the occurrence of a stroke is classified into four situations.
Firstly, when righteousness is insufficient, the meridians are empty, and wind evil invades. Due to deficiency in qi, the body's defenses are weak, wind evil opportunistically enters the meridians, obstructing the flow of qi and blood, leading to insufficient nourishment of the muscles and meridians; or when patients have an excess of phlegm and the external wind moves phlegm and dampness through the meridians, causing symptoms such as deviated mouth and eyes, and hemiplegia.
