Acupuncture for epilepsy

According to the traditional Chinese medicine , this condition is usually related to Deficient Kidney and Liver Yin . Injury to the Kidney Yin causes Interior Wind to arise in the Liver and Phlegm to rebel upward , disrupting the Qi in the channels and confusing the mind and senses .

A book of Ming dynasty , Outline Of Medicine , explains : In epilepsy the Phlegm Excess rebels upward . Because the Phlegm Excess rebels upward , the Qi in the head becomes disorderly. Because the Phlegm Excess rebels upward , the Qi in the head is disorderly . Because the Qi in the head is disorderly , the vessels close and the orifices of the head , transforming the phlegm , and calming the Liver by extinguishing the Wind.

A typical seizure is preceded by dizziness , headache , and suffocated feeling in the chest which shows the upward perversion of the wind phlegm.
