"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" emphasized: "The owner of man, blood and qi ears." Blood perfusion into the body's internal organs, body organs, and limbs is an important guarantee for the normal operation of human physiological functions.
If the blood flow is sluggish and stagnant due to some reason, it does not work, and the pathological product stasis is formed. It can also be due to blood stasis overflowing the vasculature, and menstrual blood appears, and if this blood does not dissipate in time, then blood stasis will also form.
Today, it is recommended to have an acupuncture point (diaphragm acupoint), whether it is massage or moxibustion, it can achieve the effect of invigorating blood and nourishing blood. First of all, let's take a look at the blood stasis in the body, what symptoms will occur on the body?
What are the manifestations of blood stasis?
"If it is general, it will not be painful, and if it is painful, it will not be passed", if there is blood stasis in the body, it will inevitably cause pain due to the blockage of the veins.
Characteristics of pain caused by blood stasis: pain such as pinprick and pinprick, pain with a fixed place, pain refusal to press, and pain generally worsens at night.
There are many manifestations of the painful pattern of bruising, mainly depending on the site of the blockade of the bruising, such as:
-
If the blood stasis is blocked in the cardiothoracic position, the typical cardiothoracic tingling will occur;
-
If blood stasis blocks the spleen and stomach, pain in the abdomen will occur;
-
Blood stasis is blocked in the lower coke, and there will be less abdominal pain;
-
Blood stasis is blocked in the woman's uterus, affecting the flow of Qi and blood in Chongren, then there will be menstrual irregularities or postpartum lochia;
.......
A lump is a common manifestation of blood stasis, which is condensed locally and becomes a lump over time. The hematoma after trauma is formed by blood stasis, which is the easiest for everyone to understand, in fact, the various cysts and tumors that we often say now are also caused by blood stasis.
3. Dull complexion and ecchymosis of the skin
People with blood stasis usually have a darker complexion, especially two eye circles, a purple nose and lips, and red or purple petechiae on the tongue.
If the blood stasis cannot be eliminated for a long time, the essence and blood can not nourish the skin and meridians, resulting in skin nail errors, or the skin is hypertrophied and bulging, or the skin is stiff like leather. The veins are thin, astringent, heavy or knotted.
These are all caused by blood stasis blockage, as the saying goes, "blood stasis" gives birth to all kinds of diseases and stasis, and it is blocked! Blood stasis will cause the internal organs to malfunction, qi and blood are not in harmony, and then lead to diseases.
Therefore, the method of activating blood and removing blood stasis should be used to regulate it, so that the blood stasis dissipates and the pain is naturally good.
