Abstract

I studied connection between meridians and Dianxian(癲癎, Epilepsy). Dianxian is caused by Feun(風) based on the Blood-Deficiency(血虛) which is induced by Heart-deficiency(心虛). Therefore, when Heart and blood are in deficient condition(心血虛), Heart meridian(心經) and Pericardium meridian(心包經) can be easily affected by Feng(風), which is main cause of Dianxian. Furthermore, Liver heat(肝熱) is another main cause of Dianxian. It shows along Liver meridian(肝經) and affects Pericardium Meridian(心包經). Heart, Pericardium and Liver are main organs of human psychoconscious activities, and also are main pathological organs of Dianxian. Dianxian progresses in several ways and simtoms of Dianxian are variant according to the deficiency-exess state(虛實) of Stomach and Spleen meridians(脾胃經). So, I concluded that controling Heart, Pericardium, Liver, Stomach and Spleen meridians can make therapeutical effects on Dianxian. So I report it for the better treatment, and it shoud need further study.
