Recently, many friends have consulted: others are still ruddy and shiny when they are old, but they have a dull complexion, dark spots, and two big dark circles under their eyes. Is this a consequence of the lack of skincare and maintenance?
Not! - It's because of you, there is a stasis!
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "no stasis does not form spots", and the main pathogenesis of pigmentation is blood stasis.
This is because when there is blood stasis in the human body, blood circulation will be blocked, blood flow will slow down, qi and blood can not be on the face, and the melanin in the skin cannot be discharged with the normal metabolism of the human body.
Wine spots in people who have been drinking for a long time, gas spots in people who love to get angry, and bruises on the body when touched are typical characteristics of blood stasis.
In addition, due to the "pain if it is not common", people with blood stasis constitution may often experience pain for no reason, such as headache, chest pain, rib pain, dysmenorrhea in women, prostate pain in men, etc.
Blood stasis in the brain, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, brain diseases, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral ischemia, stroke, etc.;
Blood stasis in the heart can cause chest tightness, wheezing, and palpitation, and cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, angina, coronary heart disease, heart failure, etc.;
Blood stasis in the digestive system, which can cause digestive abnormalities, abdominal pain, fatty liver, peptic ulcer, liver cirrhosis, and even cancer.
Blood stasis in the respiratory system, which can cause coughing, wheezing, and respiratory tract inflammation, and severe symptoms such as dyspnea, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary fibrosis;
Blood stasis in the uterus can cause dull complexion and endocrine disorders, and gynecological diseases such as dysmenorrhea, menstrual irregularities, infertility, uterine fibroids, etc.
Self-test for blood stasis
Wherever blood flows, blood stasis may occur, inducing various diseases. When there are these subtle changes in the body, it is important to pay attention to:
(1) Purple. The sides of the tongue are blue and purple, and the lips, nails, and eye area are dark purple;
(2) Spots. Most pigmentation spots, such as melasma and age spots, are also signs of blood stasis;
(3) Pain. "If it hurts, it doesn't work, and if it doesn't hurt", the pain of blood stasis is mostly a pinprick-like stinging pain, the pain does not move, and the position is fixed in one or several places;
(4) Blood. The skin often has unidentified dark blues, which is caused by the presence of blood under the skin, or abnormal coagulation during injury, or dark and lumpy menstruation, which may be blood stasis;
(5) Pulse. the sublingual veins are thick and black, or there are varicose veins on the legs, and the blood vessels are crooked and purple; or the temples, the back of the hands, etc., also indicate blood stasis.
Carefully compare the above symptoms, and if one of them matches, it means that the blood stasis is more serious.

Beautiful skin is what every modern beauty wants, and anyone wants to have their own "dermabrasion" effect. But this is precisely the pursuit that most office workers can not reach.
As the old saying goes, "ten women and nine stasis", women take the liver as the congenital and "blood-based", and the menstruation, fetus, childbirth, and milk are all used by blood, so they are more likely to have blood stasis constitution than men.
The conditioning of blood stasis constitution needs to "dissolve blood stasis", and according to the severity of blood stasis, reasonably choose the treatment method that suits you.

For stubborn blood stasis, the famous Chinese medicine practitioner Luo Dalun suggested that everyone consider it - Xuefu Zhuyu Soup.
Now pharmacies have a variety of preparations for sale, such as Xuefu Zhuyu Pills, Xuefu Zhuyu Capsules, Xuefu Zhuyu Granules and so on. However, many people do not know about this medicine, so it is used less.
In clinical practice, Xuefu Zhuyu decoction is effective for these syndromes!

Headache and other head diseases: In clinical practice, this prescription can be applied to various head diseases caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis.
There is a TCM summary that if you encounter headaches in the following situations, you can consider using this prescription:
Those with a history of head trauma;
Headache is ineffective with a variety of treatments;
immobilization of headache sites;
Severe headache, such as knife cuts, pinprick sticks, accompanied by nausea and vomiting;
Those who have no obvious symptoms of headache, internal heat syndrome, qi deficiency and phlegm drinking and other causes can be investigated;
