What Are the Alternative Remedies for Cervical Vertebrae-Related Cerebral Insufficiency?
The emergence of vascular issues has led to a gradual increase in the incidence of cerebral insufficiency diseases. If cerebral insufficiency is caused by cervical spine issues, it can easily lead to sequelae, and in severe cases, it can even be fatal. Cerebral insufficiency is mainly caused by blood transportation disorders, such as increased blood pressure or increased fat in the blood vessels. So, are there any folk remedies for treating this condition?
Method 1: Use eggs and brown sugar to treat dizziness. Heat an appropriate amount of soybean oil in a pan and pour in 2 eggs and 30 grams of brown sugar (mixed with a little water) to fry until cooked. Consume on an empty stomach and continue for 10 days. To consolidate the effect, you can continue for a few more days.
Method 2: Use herbal medicine and dietary therapy to treat dizziness. Mix 25 grams of herbal medicine "Lilan" (a type of Chinese medicinal herb), one egg with the shell, and 50 grams of rice to cook into a porridge. Season with oil, salt, and monosodium glutamate as needed. After cooking, remove the herbal residue and eggshell, and consume the porridge and egg in two divided doses throughout the day. Typically, symptoms of dizziness and headache will improve significantly after three consecutive days of consumption. This porridge is not only delicious but also effective in treating dizziness and headache, and it also has auxiliary hypotensive effects.
Method 3: Use duck eggs and red beans to treat dizziness. Mix one duck egg and 20 red beans, steam them until cooked, and consume on an empty stomach in the morning, once daily, for seven days for maximum effectiveness.
Method 4: Use Kusao Tang to treat dizziness. Mix 25 grams of Prunella vulgaris, 15 grams of Radix Paeoniae Alba, 25 grams of Cortex Eucommiae, and 10 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis. Usage: Boil the first three herbs with three cups of water for 30 minutes, remove from the heat, let it sit for a while, and then add the Scutellaria baicalensis. Boil for another five minutes and consume once in the morning and once in the evening. After consumption, you will feel lighter and clearer, with no other side effects.
The main causes of cerebral insufficiency include dislocation of the atlantoaxial joint and the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae, which stimulates the vertebral arteries and causes narrowing or spasms of the arterial lumen, resulting in reduced blood flow and insufficient blood supply to the brain regions. Other causes include hemodynamic disorders, such as decreased blood pressure and reduced cardiac output, which lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain tissue. Increased blood viscosity, slowed blood flow, and changes in blood composition caused by various factors can also lead to insufficient blood supply. Microthrombosis, which occurs when atherosclerotic plaques detach and form microemboli in the bloodstream, can block small arteries and cause local cerebral insufficiency.
Motor dysfunction is the most common precursor symptom of cerebral insufficiency. Due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, the nerves responsible for motor function may malfunction, leading to symptoms such as sudden mouth distortion, drooling, difficulty speaking, unclear articulation, aphasia or incoherent speech, difficulty swallowing, weakness or inflexibility in one side of the body, difficulty holding objects, unsteady gait or sudden falls, and sometimes muscle spasms or twitching. Sensory dysfunction may also occur due to the impact of cerebral insufficiency on the analytical areas, sensory organs, and sensory nerve fibers of the brain. This often manifests as facial numbness, tongue numbness, lip numbness, or numbness or a foreign body sensation in one side of the body. Some people may experience blurred vision or even temporary blindness, and many may have sudden feelings of vertigo. Others may experience spontaneous pain in their limbs, and some may suddenly develop tinnitus or hearing loss.
The incidence of cerebral insufficiency gradually increases with age, and its main underlying cause is cerebral arteriosclerosis. The average cerebral blood flow in normal adults is 40-60 milliliters per minute per 100 grams of brain tissue. The brain is very sensitive to insufficient blood supply, and when the blood supply drops to 75%-85% of the normal value, it can cause judgment errors and consciousness disorders. When
