Treatment of Vertigo Based on "All Wind-Induced Tremors and Vertigo Are Associated with the Liver"
Abstract
Vertigo is a common clinical symptom with high incidence and complex etiology, involving multi-system disorders (modern medicine) and multi-Zang-Fu dysfunction (TCM), severely impairing patients' daily life. The theory "All wind-induced tremors and vertigo are associated with the liver" from Huangdi's Inner Canon is a classic TCM guideline for vertigo, revealing the liver's core role in its pathogenesis. This paper sorts the liver's physiological characteristics as "Zang-organ of wind and wood", explains vertigo's correlation with liver-related pathogenesis (internal stirring of liver wind with subtypes, liver yang hyperactivity), and analyzes liver-based syndrome differentiation and treatments (calming liver, extinguishing wind, etc.). It consolidates the "liver-centered" theoretical foundation and treatment pathway, providing references for precise TCM application in vertigo.
