According to the Chinese Medicine, MS is associated with the flaccidity syndrome, which results in muscular weakness. Chinese doctors cause this on Dampness (which affects the muscles and Spleen) and or a deficiency in the Kidney and Liver Zang (which affects bones and tendons). At the same time, other factors like improper diet, damp environments, shocks, excessive sexual activity are seen as causes for this illness. According to Chinese medicine, the early stages are caused by Dampness, but this deficiency in the body leads to Kidney and Liver Zang deficiency, which causes the Liver Yang to rise, and symptoms like tremor, paraysis, dizziness or stiffness to occur.


Traditional Chinese medicine treats Multiple Sclerosis mainly trough acupuncture, herbal medicines and Qi Gong.

These are currently seen as alternative treatments and should not be considered without the permission of one’s doctor, because there is a chance that the herbal treatments interfere with one’s current treatment scheme and in the end they will do more harm than good. When it comes to acupuncture and Qi Gong these have been found to be very helpful in the reduction of stress and anxiety.
