Brain Fog – TCM Perspective
By: Dr William Ly
BHSC, BBIOMEDSC, BAPPSC (CHINMED)

According to Chinese Medicine, the ability to stay focused and mentally clear relies heavily on a sufficient amount of life force energy (Qi) and nutrient-rich blood to circulate within the brain. When there is an abundance of Qi and Blood in a person he or she will most likely have a clear mind and spirit. In Chinese Medicine, brain fog can be caused by several reasons but the most commonly seen conditions are due to Qi deficiency and/or an excessive build-up of phlegm and damp pathogen within the body.

Qi can be produced from various internal systems within the body. The digestive system within the body plays a major role in the production and subsequent replenishment of Qi. If there are present problems within the digestive system these will hinder the development of our Qi which will lead to a Qi deficiency within the body. In my clinical experience, improper diet, emotional stress and lack of sleep are the main common causes of digestive problems. When Qi is depleted to a certain level a person will start to feel exhausted, irritated and unable to concentrate. Prolonged Qi deficiency or intakes of certain foods which contain excessive levels of sugar and oily food can also build up phlegm and damp pathogen within the body. This dampness and phlegm build-up will further exacerbate the condition because it can further obstruct the Qi circulation to our heads and deny the capacity to perform mental and cognitive activities. Furthermore, one may start to experience mental fatigue, headaches, forgetfulness, lack of appetite, a cloudy mind and a decrease in cognitive skills.

In Chinese Medicine, it is crucial to identify the underlying causes of brain fog within the individual. The treatment of Chinese Medicine focuses on the clearing and removal of phlegm and damp pathogens within the body, the strengthening of the digestive system and the redirecting of Qi circulation to the brain to help restore concentration and mental clarity.

If you have any health concerns please always seek advice from your qualified health practitioners.
