The affected part of brain gangrene is the circulation of the Governor Meridian and the Bladder Meridian.

Since the head is the meeting point of all Yangs and the brain is the sea of ??marrow, after gangrene occurs, the poisonous evil will sink in, which can easily damage the brain and marrow, causing confusion and becoming a dangerous syndrome [1]. 5 Syndrome differentiation and treatment of brain gangrene 5.1 Empirical evidence
