TCVM GERIATRIC MEDICINE
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Geriatric period starts at 50 years old and shows significant signs at 60 in human beings. Aging and weakness results in disease. Ling Shu states: At the age of 50, the liver starts to decline, the lobes of the liver start to thin, and the eyes begin to cloud. At the age of 60, the Heart Qi starts to decline causing worry and sadness, Qi and Blood flow is sluggish and weak promoting lethargy. At the age of 70, the Spleen Qi is deficient, and the skin desiccates and withers. At the age of 80, the Lung Qi weakens and the corporeal soul (po) is gone allowing errors in diction. At the age of 90, the Kidney Qi parches like a dried and wilted flower. At the age of 100 years old, all Zang-fu organs and Channels are exhausted.
