Q: My father is 70 years old. Last year, after undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, he suffered a cerebral infarction, resulting in speech impairment. He has recovered well so far, but recently he feels somewhat clumsy when speaking— the more hurried he is, the worse his speech becomes. What are some effective treatment options?

A: There are many traditional Chinese medicine approaches for treating cerebral infarction. In Western medicine, many intravenous medications are actually derived from traditional Chinese herbs, such as extracts of Danshen, Mao Dongqing, Ginkgo, Evening Primrose, and Pueraria lobata. If treated with TCM syndrome differentiation and individualized therapy, long-term use of herbs that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, soften hard masses, and unblock meridians can yield even better results.
