Milezhi, a name in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the fat of the sika deer (Elaphurus davidianus Milne-Edwards) of the Cervidae family. This species is endemic to China; it was already being raised in Nanyuan, Beijing, during the Qing Dynasty but did not occur in the wild. It was later transported to the United Kingdom, and the species became extinct in China.In the late 1980s, the British government returned the species to China; it is now bred in Beijing and Jiangsu and is classified as a Class I nationally protected animal. It is believed to promote blood circulation, dispel wind and cold, moisturize the skin, and detoxify. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as wind-cold-heat bi syndrome, stiffness and weakness of the limbs, wind-induced swelling of the head and face, boils, abscesses, and malignant sores, as well as facial blisters and pustules.
Musk is a name for a traditional Chinese medicine. It is the dried secretion from the mature male scent sacs of animals belonging to the genus Moschus in the deer family, specifically the forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii Flerov), the horse musk deer (M. sifanicus Przewalski), or the original musk deer (M. moschiferus Linnaeus). It has the therapeutic effects of opening the orifices and reviving the spirit, promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, and reducing swelling and relieving pain.It is primarily used to treat mental confusion due to obstruction, swollen and toxic sores, scrofula and phlegm nodules, sore throat, amenorrhea due to blood stasis, masses and masses, sudden pain in the chest and abdomen, headaches, trauma, arthralgia caused by wind, cold, and dampness, difficult labor, stillbirth, and retained placenta.
Dog’s Spine, a name in traditional Chinese medicine. It is the dried rhizome of Cibotium barometz (L.) J. Sm., a plant belonging to the genus Cibotium in the family Polypodiaceae. It has the effects of dispelling wind-dampness, tonifying the liver and kidneys, and strengthening the lower back and knees. It is primarily used to treat rheumatic arthralgia, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, and weakness in the lower limbs.
Lasia spinosa, a name in traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to the rhizome or the whole plant of Lasia spinosa (L.) Thwai, a member of the Araceae family. It is distributed in Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and other regions. It has the effects of clearing heat and draining dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion.It is commonly used to treat thirst associated with febrile illnesses, coughs caused by lung heat, yellowish-red urine, edema due to nephritis, leukorrhea, rheumatic pain, swelling and pain from trauma, chronic gastritis, indigestion, scalp sores in children, fetal toxicity, mumps, lymph node tuberculosis, boils, abscesses, and sores, as well as venomous snake bites.
Femoral nerve palsy is a clinical syndrome caused by various factors, resulting in muscle paralysis and functional decline within the distribution of the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve originates from L2–L4, runs obliquely downward and laterally between the psoas major and iliacus muscles, then crosses anteriorly over the psoas major near the inguinal ligament, lying … Read more
Obturator nerve injury is a clinical condition characterized by weakness of thigh adduction and limited foot abduction, among other symptoms, caused by damage, compression, or irritation of the obturator nerve from various etiologies. The obturator nerve is formed by spinal nerves L2 and L3. It innervates the obturator externus muscle, which functions in lateral rotation … Read more
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Neuritis, also known as Meralgia Paresthetica Syndrome. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve originates from the posterior root of the L2–L3 spinal nerves. It courses along the iliac crest, the lateral border of the psoas major muscle, beneath the iliac fascia, passing anterior to the anterior superior iliac spine and the inguinal ligament. … Read more
Superior cluneal nerve injury is a clinically common pain syndrome of the upper buttock. The superior gluteal nerve is the lateral cutaneous branch of the posterior rami of the 1st to 3rd lumbar nerves. It exits from the lateral border of the erector spinae muscle, pierces the thoracolumbar fascia together with the superior gluteal artery, … Read more
Radial nerve palsy is a relatively common neurological condition in clinical practice. Its main symptom is paralysis of the forearm extensor muscles, resulting in an inability to extend the wrist joint and presenting a typical “wrist drop” sign. The radial nerve is primarily composed of motor nerve fibers; it originates from the C5 to C8 … Read more
Ulnar nerve palsy is a syndrome of muscle paralysis in the distribution of the ulnar nerve, caused by various factors that injure or compress the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve is a mixed nerve composed of motor, sensory, and autonomic nerve fibers. It originates from the C8 and T1 spinal cord segments and gives rise … Read more
Median nerve palsy is a condition caused by injury or compression of the median nerve due to various reasons, leading to motor and sensory dysfunction within the area innervated by the median nerve. The median nerve contains motor, sensory, and autonomic nerve fibers. It originates from the spinal cord at cervical levels 6 to 8 … Read more
Axillary nerve paralysis is a clinical syndrome resulting from injury or compression of the axillary nerve due to various causes, leading to paralysis of the muscles and cutaneous nerves within its innervation territory. The axillary nerve arises from the distal portion of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, originating from spinal nerves C5–C6. It … Read more
Long thoracic nerve palsy is a syndrome characterized by paralysis of the muscles within the distribution of the long thoracic nerve, caused by various factors that result in injury or compression of the nerve. The long thoracic nerve originates from the anterior rami of C5–C6 and a portion of C7. In the neck, it runs … Read more
Occipital neuralgia is a general term for pain involving the greater occipital nerve, lesser occipital nerve, and great auricular nerve. Greater Occipital Nerve It is the main branch of the second cervical nerve (C2), arising from the posterior ramus of C2. It emerges between the posterior arch of the atlas (C1), exits at the posterior … Read more
