Pianku, also called niuku in traditional Chinese medicine means paralysis of one side of the body, often the result of a stroke. Since qi and blood are lost, ying and wei are deficient, wind and phlegm enter the channels and cause disease. This disease is generally cured by supplementing qi and activating blood circulation, dredging the channels, and with acupuncture treatment.
