Traditional Chinese Medicine Effectively Prevents Parkinson's Disease, Eliminating Tremors, Stiffness, And Slowness

Do you know about panic steps, masked faces, and lowercase syndrome? These symptoms may be manifestations of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in middle-aged and elderly people, mainly characterized by involuntary tremors in the limbs when at rest, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural balance disorders. In the late stage, it can lead to the inability of patients to take care of themselves. Currently, the prevalence of Parkinson's disease among elderly people aged 65 and above is as high as 1.7%. Due to the diverse symptoms of this disease, it is easily confused with common cervical spondylosis, stroke, etc., resulting in a high misdiagnosis rate.

Early suspected depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease

It should be noted that depression is also an early symptom of Parkinson's disease. Some elderly people become less communicative with their families, do not like to talk, lose interest in what they usually enjoy doing, do not like going out, and become increasingly depressed. These behaviors are often mistaken for retirement, bad mood, and depression. I took antidepressants for half a day and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease only when my symptoms worsened. Data shows that approximately 35% to 45% of Parkinson's patients also experience depressive symptoms.

Patients who do not receive timely treatment often experience worsening of their condition. Many patients who start taking medication in the late stage of their illness, due to the large dosage of medication, not only have difficulty controlling symptoms but also experience complications such as medication end effects and dyskinesia, seriously affecting their quality of life. Therefore, early detection and treatment are crucial. Parkinson's disease can be treated with medication. For early patients, such as those under 70 years old, the Chinese Parkinson's Treatment Guidelines recommend drugs such as nonergot dopamine receptor agonists, such as Pramipexole, which not only improve motor ability but also delay and reduce the occurrence of motor complications. At the same time, they also have good therapeutic effects on depression symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. In addition, Parkinson's disease also needs to focus on long-term management to achieve long-term benefits.

Traditional Chinese medicine methods have been used from ancient times to the present to treat Parkinson's disease.

According to modern medical research, Parkinson's disease belongs to the category of neurodegenerative diseases, which is a complex and difficult-to-treat type of neurological disease. Zhao Yang, Director of the Department of Neurology and Medical Doctor at the Third Affiliated Hospital of the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, found through research on past data that traditional Chinese medicine's understanding of Parkinson's disease is mostly centered around "wind". According to the theory of hidden phenomena in traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that Parkinson's disease is closely related to liver hidden phenomena. For example, liver qi deficiency syndrome is similar to the fatigue and sweating symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients; The liver yang deficiency syndrome is related to an increased sense of tightness in the patient's limbs, joint stiffness, and pain, especially aggravated by cold. Many patients may experience some complications during the 3-5 year treatment process, including both motor and nonmotor complications. For nonmotor complications such as palpitations, chest tightness, drooling, constipation, insomnia, etc., the effect of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment has been recognized in the industry.

Huangqi, Codonopsis pilosula, Panax ginseng, Cistanche deserticola, etc. are commonly used in clinical practice to tonify liver qi and enrich tendons and meridians. Tu Pengfei, a professor at the Department of Natural Pharmacy of Peking University School of Pharmacy, pointed out in his work that the glycosides extracted from Cistanche deserticola can reduce protein degradation related to Parkinson's disease, which has certain significance for drug screening for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor dysfunction such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and motor delay. The pathogenesis of this disease is complex, involving a decrease in dopamine neurons, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Cistanche deserticola contains abundant phenylethanol glycosides, which have been proven to have significant neurodegenerative effects. The research by Tu Pengfei/Zeng Kewu's team found that Echinacoside (ECH) in Cistanche deserticola can activate the Wnt signaling pathway and promote mitochondrial fusion by specifically modifying the CK2 α 'protein, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. In addition, Cistanche deserticola can also treat Parkinson's disease through various pathways such as antioxidant stress, regulation of neuroinflammation, regulation of cell autophagy, and inhibition of neuronal apoptosis.

Network pharmacology research further reveals the multi-target mechanism of Cistanche deserticola in treating Parkinson's disease. Research has found that multiple active ingredients in Cistanche deserticola can exert a comprehensive therapeutic effect by regulating multiple targets related to Parkinson's disease, such as dopamine receptors, acetylcholinesterase, angiotensin-converting enzyme, etc. These targets involve multiple aspects such as the regulation of neurotransmitters, inhibition of inflammatory responses, and control of cell apoptosis.

In addition, it has been found that Cistanche deserticola can regulate gut microbiota, inhibit mitochondrial autophagy and oxidative damage, inhibit neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuron apoptosis, and thus play a role in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. These findings provide new perspectives and strategies for the application of Cistanche deserticola in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

In summary, as in traditional Chinese medicine, the potential of Cistanche deserticola in the treatment and prevention of Parkinson's disease cannot be ignored.

Yang Xinling, Chief Physician of the Department of Neurology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, reminds us that the current weather is fluctuating, and Parkinson's patients need to pay attention to the temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting in their homes. According to the increase or decrease in temperature, clothes should be worn, and outdoor activities should be reduced in terms of style and intensity to prevent colds. Patients with conditions can do some indoor health exercises, strengthen muscle and joint massage, and prevent and delay complications of bones and joints. Late-stage bedridden patients should turn over on time and take good care of their skin to prevent the occurrence of urinary and fecal immersion and pressure ulcers. Turn over and tap the back to prevent aspiration pneumonia and accumulation of pneumonia.

Currently, the internationally recognized screening questionnaire only requires answering 9 simple questions to detect Parkinson's disease as early as possible.

1.Do you have difficulty standing up from the chair?

2.Has your handwriting become smaller compared to before?

3.Has anyone said that your voice has decreased compared to before?

4.Are you prone to falling while walking?

5. Does your foot sometimes suddenly feel stuck to the ground and can't be lifted?

6. Are your facial expressions not as rich as before?

7.Do your arms or legs tremble?

8.Is it difficult for you to fasten the button yourself?

9.Do you take small steps while walking with your feet dragging?

If the answer to each of the above questions is "yes", 1 point will be counted. If it exceeds 3 points, it is recommended to go to the neurology department of the hospital for further examination immediately.
