Abstract
Professor Jun Li believes that the main etiology and pathogenesis of vascular dementia is the combination of phlegm and blood stasis. The symptoms include feeling faint and declined senses in organs of the head, caused by mystery reason. To cure phlegm and blood stasis simultaneously, the therapy promotes the notion of “resolving phlegm and stimulating the circulation of blood, liberate brain orifices,” and treatments with the addition and removal of “Naotaitong Decoction,” which has an amazing clinical curative effect. This paper examines Professor Jun Li’s theoretical foundations and ideas from the syndrome differentiation and treatment of phlegm and blood stasis, systematically examines the curative effect and mechanism of Naotaitong Decoction in the treatment of vascular dementia, and examines the prescription and medication of typical cases for readers, in the hopes of providing guidance to clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
