Root Causes by TCM for Dementia
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) identifies dementia as a disorder of the mind and body, with roots in the imbalance of organ systems. The key factors contributing to dementia in TCM are:
- Kidney Deficiency: The kidneys store essence (Jing), vital for mental functioning. A decline in Kidney Jing can lead to weakened mental faculties.
- Heart Deficiency: The heart governs the Shen (spirit or consciousness). A deficiency in heart Qi or blood can result in confusion, memory loss, and cognitive decline.
- Spleen Deficiency: The spleen governs transformation and transportation, including thought and memory. Spleen Qi deficiency leads to poor concentration, forgetfulness, and mental fatigue.
- Liver Qi Stagnation and Blood Deficiency: The liver stores blood and is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi. Stagnation of liver Qi or deficiency of liver blood can contribute to cognitive dysfunction and emotional disturbances.
- Phlegm Accumulation: The accumulation of dampness and phlegm can block the mind and senses, creating mental confusion, sluggishness, and memory impairment.
