Forgetfulness
In Chinese medicine, forgetfulness can be caused by a variety of factors, including weakness of the Heart-Kidney axis, damage to the Heart-Kidney axis by external pathogens, or stagnation of qi and blood. Treatment of forgetfulness depends on the underlying cause, and may include herbs and acupuncture to strengthen the Heart-Kidney axis, clear stagnation, and boost qi and blood.
