Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often accompanied by tic disorder. The core pathogenesis is considered to be ministerial fire scorching
yin
and internal stirring of deficient wind, which leads to disharmony between the body and spirit, resulting in clinical manifestations. The treatment principles emphasiz
e nourishing
yin
fluids, calming ministerial fire, and extinguishing endogenous wind (内风). The method of nourishing
yin
fluids is applied throughout the entire treatment process, commonly using ingredients such as Shudihuang (
Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata
), Shanzhuyu
(
Corni Fructus
), Gouqizi
(Lycii Fructus
), Wuweizi (
Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus
), and Tusizi (
Cuscutae Semen
). These are combined with approaches to harmonize the

organs, primarily including extinguishing liver wind, clearing heart fire, nourishing kidney water, and strengthening spleen earth, thereby stabilizing ministerial fire and extinguishing endogenous wind. Additionally, emotional regulation and smoothing emotional constraint are essential to improve clinical symptoms in children with ADHD comorbid with tic disorder.
