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.

Objective : Skin scale(皮膚甲錯) refers to an excessive dryness of skin which can be found under such conditions as blood deficiency(血虛), blood heat(血熱), damp heat(濕熱), the weakness of stomach(脾胃虛) and blood stasis(瘀血). Method : A sensitive and nervous patient showed symptoms of insomnia and chest discomfort as well as skin scale. He had great anxiety over his illness. He, therefore, was diagnosed as blood stasis caused by outburst of emotions and was prescribed Hyulbuchukeotang(血府逐瘀湯) to remove blood stasis in chest. Result and Conclusion : After taking Hyulbuchukeotang, insomnia, chest discomfort and skin scale eased off. Since not only blood stasis but also other factors may cause skin scale, more research on such cases must be done to determine the efficacy of Hyulbuchukeotang for skin scale.
