Blood Stasis
Blood Stasis is a condition in traditional Chinese medicine where blood flow becomes sluggish or obstructed. This can lead to various health issues, as proper circulation is essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Factors contributing to blood stasis include physical inactivity, emotional stress, and injury.
Symptoms of blood stasis may include pain, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness in affected areas. It can also manifest as dark or purplish skin, varicose veins, or menstrual irregularities in women. Treatment often involves methods to improve circulation, such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and lifestyle changes.
