Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the result of a variety of biological, psychological and social factors.
Symptoms
Inattention, difficulty concentrating
Impulsivity
Hyperactivity
Western medicine usually uses central nervous system stimulants to treat this disorder, but there is no cure. Long-term use of drugs has certain toxic side effects and can cause serious growth and development problems.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is caused by a deficiency of qi and blood, resulting in the inability of qi and blood in the meridians to nourish the internal organs.
Acupuncture has certain benefits in treating this disease. Acupuncture can regulate the nourishment of the body and the function of the internal organs, and it is effective in improving systemic symptoms with few side effects. Acupuncture is very popular with patients. The focus of treatment is on the head, heart and liver meridians.
The appropriate areas and acupuncture points are treated to regulate qi and blood in the meridians. It can calm the mind and promote concentration. The treatment is more effective when combined with ear acupuncture.
