Neurological symptoms — a ringing in the ears that won’t quiet down, sudden dizziness, one side of the face that won’t move the way it used to, nerve pain that shoots or burns — tend to be some of the most disorienting things a body can do to a person. They’re often invisible to everyone around you, hard to describe precisely, and easy to feel dismissed about if the standard workup doesn’t turn up a clear answer.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has treated nerve- and brain-related symptoms for a very long time, generally through the lens of Qi and Blood circulation to the head, face, and extremities, along with the Kidney’s role as the deep foundation behind hearing, balance, and the nervous system generally. When circulation is disrupted — by Qi or Blood deficiency, by stagnation, or by Wind (the classical explanation for sudden-onset, changeable, or one-sided symptoms) — the result is often exactly the kind of symptom cluster covered on this page. At DAOYI Wellness in Eglinton, Toronto, our practitioners use acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, and dietary guidance to support these conditions, always as a complement to the neurological workup and medical care they genuinely require.
