TCM believes that the root of epilepsy lies in the brain

which is induced by pathological products such as wind

phlegm

fright

blood stasis

etc. resulting in the obstruction of the collaterals and thus the disease. Based on the theories of "when the qi of the gallbladder rises

all the qi of the other eleven

zang

-

fu

organs will follow" and "children are born with an immature yang constitution"

Professor Xu Rongqian has developed a unique system of treating epilepsy in children from the perspective of the gallbladder

in which he attaches special attention to the interaction between the gallbladder and the brain

and between the gallbladder and wind

phlegm

fright

and blood stasis. The method of soothing the gallbladder and promoting qi movement should be used throughout the treatment both during and after seizures.
