Bleeding, stagnation of qi, cold blood, phlegm (a pathological product of impaired metabolism of water and fluid), etc. can all lead to poor blood circulation in the human body or lead to stagnation of blood away from the meridians, resulting in stasis of blood.
1. Blood out of the body causes stasis: all kinds of traumas, such as falls, surgical wounds, etc., lead to broken veins and bleeding, which becomes blood away from the meridians, and fails to be discharged from the body in time or dissipated, and stagnates in the body as blood stasis.
2. Qi stagnation causes blood stasis: if the qi flows, the blood will flow; if the qi is blocked and does not flow, the blood will not flow well and will form blood stasis.
3. Cold blood causes stasis: Cold is stagnant, and blood will be congealed when it gets cold. If the blood veins are contracted due to external cold or internal cold, the blood will not run smoothly, resulting in stagnation of blood in certain parts of the body, and thus blood stasis will be formed.
4. Blood stasis caused by phlegm and drink: phlegm and drink stagnate, blocking qi and impeding blood flow, resulting in phlegm and blood stasis inter-conjugation.
To treat blood stasis, the method of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis is often adopted in clinic, and commonly used medicines to activate blood circulation include peach kernel, safflower, angelica, etc. Commonly used formulas include blood circulation and blood stasis soup, resisting soup, peach kernel and safflower soup, etc. If symptoms related to blood stasis occur, it may be difficult to treat. If symptoms related to blood stasis occur, please consult a doctor in time to receive standardized treatment.
