Learn to treat symptoms of traumatic and acquired brain injury using Chinese medicinal methods of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Covering both Western and Chinese medicine understandings of the brain, the book provides a thorough exploration of treatment options, including multiple acupuncture systems, Chinese herbal formulas, dietary and orthomolecular recommendations, and standard biomedical approaches.



Many symptoms associated with brain injury can be effectively addressed or reduced using TCM, including chronic headache, fatigue, dizziness, pain, and anxiety among others. The book highlights the special considerations that should be taken when working with people with brain injury, as well as when treating particular subpopulations, including pediatrics and veterans.

'This book provides a clinically-oriented and comprehensive transdisciplinary approach to the treatment of head injuries and their sequelae. Douglas Wingate skillfully opens Chinese medicine to a broader audience while maintaining its conceptual integrity and classical clinical wisdom. This work delivers a much-needed resource in facilitating person-centered collaborative care.' - Mitchell Bebel Stargrove, ND, LAc, Author, Herb, Nutrient and Drug Interactions; Editor-in-chief,
