In traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of panic mainly focuses on regulating qi and the mind.
One approach is through herbal medicine. Chinese herbs such as Radix Bupleuri and Long Gu (fossil bones) are often used. Radix Bupleuri can soothe the liver and regulate qi, while Long Gu can calm the mind and suppress fright. These herbs work together to relieve the symptoms of panic.
Acupuncture is also an effective method. Specific acupoints such as Shenmen (HT7) and Neiguan (PC6) are selected. Stimulating Shenmen can calm the spirit and relieve anxiety, and Neiguan can regulate the qi of the heart and pericardium to soothe emotions and reduce panic feelings. Additionally, qigong and tai chi are recommended to regulate the flow of qi in the body and balance the mind - body state, helping to relieve panic symptoms over time.
