According to Chinese medical theory, memory depends on the state of the spleen, kidneys, and heart, and there is a considerable overlap among how these three organs function. The spleen houses intellect and influences memory in the sense of memorization, studying, and concentration. The kidneys house will-power and are responsible for memory in the sense of memorization of everyday events, names, faces, etc. The heart controls memory because it houses the mind. If the heart is nourished with qi and blood, the mind will be strong, memory and sleep will be good, and the emotions will be stable. However, if the spleen is weak it will not be able to make blood and the heart will not be nourished which will affect sleep and memory. If the kidneys are weak it will affect the heart causing poor memory, insomnia, and agitation

The use of Chinese medicine herbs requires that the physician have the ability to individualize the formula to the exact imbalance in the patient. Sometimes one disease can have many patterns, and sometimes the same pattern can occur in different diseases. The Chinese fashion is to determine how the disease affects the patient, and treat accordingly. One unique aspect of traditional Chinese medicine is to always try to improve the patient's well being both physically and psychologically.
