Blood stasis loses its physiological function, and staying in the body will produce ecchymosis and pain. For example, stagnation in the heart can lead to chest distress and heartache, stagnation in the lungs can lead to chest pain and hemoptysis, and stagnation in the stomach can lead to hematemesis and hematochezia.
Then how do you judge whether you are a blood stasis constitution? See the following symptoms:
Gloomy face, black eyes, easy to grow spots; The lips are dark purple and easy to dry; Easy to bleed gums, dry hair or fall off; Occasionally, the skin appears blue, ecchymosis or pain; Easily upset, poor memory, forgetfulness; Women are prone to dysmenorrhea, and the pain at night is aggravated; Thin body, dry skin, red and purple tongue or ecchymosis;
Here is a way to judge whether there is blood stasis, that is, look at the tongue, the tongue is purple and dark, or there are ecchymosis on the tongue, and the sublingual pulse is purple and dark, which can explain blood stasis in severe cases.
Speaking of it, some people are prone to blue veins in different parts of their bodies, and the shapes and colors of different parts are different.
In the view of Chinese medicine, these veins stand for the excessive accumulation of wastes in the human body, representing blood stasis, phlegm-dampness, heat toxicity, accumulation and so on. The more waste accumulates, the more obvious the veins stand out.
Different shapes and colors represent different degrees of stagnation, blue lines indicate slight, bulges indicate moderate, and distortions indicate serious; Cyan stands for mild, purple stands for moderate and black stands for severe.
Where does the blood stasis come from?
Blood stasis is also divided into different situations, such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi deficiency and blood stasis, cold coagulation and blood stasis, and internal bleeding caused by traumatic injury.
Qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi can promote blood circulation, and if liver qi is uncomfortable, it often sulks. If qi stagnation cannot promote blood circulation, blood stasis will be formed.
Qi deficiency and blood stasis are the same. Qi is handsome for blood, while qi deficiency cannot promote blood circulation. Staying somewhere will form blood stasis.
Cold coagulation and blood stasis are the main causes, such as blowing cold air and wearing skirts in winter. Cold pathogen stagnates blood circulation, which is why many people are more likely to have cold hands and feet in winter.
It is common for people to stumble, but sometimes they don't feel anything at that time, but they are bruised and swollen the next day. This is blood stasis.
Pay special attention to children at this point. Children don't know when they bump into each other, and parents often ignore them, which will inevitably lead to congestion.
In addition, some surgical operations can also lead to blood stasis. For example, after caesarean section or abortion, if the congestion is not completely discharged, it will leave gynecological diseases in the body. There is a prescription for postpartum blood stasis called Shenghua Decoction.
