The Chinese Medicine Perspective
How Chinese Medicine Views Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis is understood in Chinese Medicine through the lens of Kidney Essence Deficiency, Liver Wind, and obstruction of the channels and collaterals. The Kidney governs the bones, marrow, and the body's deepest constitutional reserves — and its deficiency may contribute to the progressive nature of neurological symptoms.
Liver Wind — arising from Liver Blood or Yin Deficiency — may contribute to tremor, spasticity, and movement difficulties. Dampness and Phlegm obstructing the channels may contribute to numbness, heaviness, and fatigue. Each patient's pattern is unique and requires careful individualized assessment.
Our role at Blue Root Health is to provide supportive integrative care — addressing the constitutional patterns that influence quality of life, energy, pain, and neurological symptoms — always working alongside your neurologist and medical team. Treatment focuses on improving circulation, supporting healthy nervous system function, strengthening constitutional deficiencies, and restoring balance according to each patient's presentation.
