- Stroke: a sudden loss of blood flow to the brain, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including paralysis and difficulty speaking.
- Epilepsy: a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures.

Chinese Medicine Treatment of Neurological Disorders
In Chinese medicine, neurological disorders are often treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of qi (life energy) and promote healing. Herbal medicine involves the use of plant-based remedies to treat a variety of conditions, including neurological disorders.
Chinese medicine practitioners may also recommend dietary and lifestyle changes as part of treatment for neurological disorders. For example, they may advise avoiding certain foods or engaging in activities that promote good circulation and nervous system function.
