Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has a long history in oriental countries. Its characteristics refer to four properties, five flavors, and meridian tropisms. The medical practice of CHM is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as holism, yin-yang theory, Zang-fu system and the five elements, so called Zheng in total. For its therapeutic benefits with relation to brain diseases, such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), CHM can be dated from 2,500 years ago. In addition, under the guidance of Zheng, there are two mainly causes leading to the on-set of Alzheimer disease (AD) - the deficiency of kidney qi and phlegm-dampness blocking cystitis. Therefore, driven by Zheng, we list two typical Chinese herbal formulae in the treatment of AD, and its mechanisms.
Keywords:Alzheimer disease; traditional Chinese medicine; Zheng
