The poliomyelitis recognized by modem medicine is an acute epidemic disease
caused by the poliomyelitis virus. In traditional Chinese medicine this disease is believed to be caused by an attack of wind, dampness and heat pathogens through the mouth to the lungs and stomach. At the early stage, patients may suffer from fever, cough, red throat, and vomiting and diarrhea, which are the symptoms caused by the attack of pathogens to the lungs and stomach. They may suffer from pain in limbs due to an invasion of pathogens blocking the meridians and disturbing the circulation of qi and blood; and finally, the numbness and paralysis of the limbs may appear to be due to malnutrition of muscles.
