Last week, I went to Sydney for "Brian Health Symposium. I learnt:

Every three seconds, somewhere in the world, a person is diagnosed with dementia.

Behind those numbers are not statistics — they are people. Each one has a life, a family, and a story that matters.

What is deeply concerning me is how often the early signs are missed. For some years, many people live with symptoms that are mistakenly believed as the normal forgetfulness, or even sadly when they seek medical opinion but being brushed aside as “just the old age”. This delay not only robs them of early stage detection and timely treatment as well as the right support, but also caused the families to carry unnecessary confusion and pain.

It’s time we pay closer attention. Recognising and acting on early signs of dementia isn’t just about medicine — it’s about dignity, hope, and protecting the future of every family.

Chinese Medicine on Stroke Recovery
Part 5: Self-Care & The Holistic Approach

Healing Beyond the Clinic

Recovery doesn’t end with treatments—it continues at home. Gentle practices like Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or the Six Healing Sounds can:

Improve balance and coordination

Support circulation and energy flow

Boost confidence and emotional well-being

The key insight:
TCM treats the whole system, not just the stroke injury. By clearing blockages and restoring balance, it helps the body rebuild from the ground up.

Recovery is not only about regaining movement—it’s also about restoring independence and hope.

Chinese Medicine on Stroke Recovery Part 4:
Herbal Medicine: Fuel for Healing

In stroke recovery, acupuncture is often combined with herbal prescriptions designed to match each patient’s needs.

TCM herbs can help by:
Boosting Qi and energy → for fatigue and weakness

Moving blood and reducing stagnation → for stiffness or numbness

Clearing phlegm and dampness - for heaviness or brian fog

Supporting long-term healing → to strengthen brain and organ function

When paired with rehabilitation exercises, herbs can help patients recover strength, clarity, and vitality more effectively.

Acupuncture in Stroke Recovery part 3

Acupuncture: Rewiring the Brain and Body

Acupuncture is one of the most researched TCM therapies for stroke rehabilitation.

Benefits include:

Reducing stiffness and spasticity

“Waking up” numb limbs by improving nerve signaling
Supporting balance and coordination

Helping speech clarity and voice strength

Research shows acupuncture stimulates the nervous system and encourages neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire and adapt after injury.

For many stroke survivors, this means an easier and more effective rehabilitation journey.

Part 2: How TCM Understands Stroke

How TCM Explains Stroke (中风 zhong feng)

In TCM, stroke is seen as the result of internal imbalances. These imbalances disturb the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood, leading to weakness, stiffness, or speech problems.

Common patterns include:

Liver Yang rising – excess heat or tension disturbing the brain

Blood stagnation – poor circulation blocking channels, leading to paralysis or numbness

Phlegm obstruction – dampness and mucus “clouding the mind”

Qi and Yang deficiency – weakened vitality slowing healing

Each person’s recovery journey is different, so treatment is always tailored to their pattern.

Stroke Recovery and the Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

part 1, Introduction

A stroke can change life in an instant—affecting movement, balance, speech, and independence. While modern medicine focuses on saving lives and preventing further strokes, recovery often requires more than medication and physiotherapy.

This is where Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and gentle exercises, can play a valuable role.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll share how TCM understands stroke and the unique ways it supports recovery.

Follow along if you’d like to learn more about natural approaches to rehabilitation.
