Curcuma longa and turmeric both have the function of breaking blood and moving qi to relieve pain (relieving pain by regulating the body’s qi), but curcuma longa has a stronger blood-activating power to eliminate stagnation and turmeric has a stronger qi-moving power, favoring the opening of the meridians. Curcuma longa has the function of breaking up blood and moving qi, eliminating accumulation and relieving pain (eliminating stagnation and relieving pain), and can be used in the treatment of zheng zheng (lumps in women’s lower abdomen), plaques (lumps), stasis of blood and menstrual occlusion, chest paralysis (stuffy pain in the chest), heart pain, and oesophagogic stagnation (the accumulation of indigested food in the stomach) and distension. It should be noted that curcuma longa is very strong, may consume gas and hurt blood, should not be overdosed for a long time, pregnant women are prohibited, and those with excessive menstruation should not use it. Turmeric is used for the treatment of thoracic and hypochondriac pain, chest paralysis, heart pain, dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, obstruction of menstruation, obstruction of the abdomen, rheumatism, shoulder and arm pain, and swelling and pain in falling and thumping. It should be noted that it should be taken with caution for those with blood deficiency or without qi stagnation and blood stasis (blood stasis due to lack of qi flow), and is contraindicated in pregnant women. The compounding and use of Chinese medicines is recommended to be carried out under the guidance of physician’s diagnosis, and should not be used on its own to prevent adverse effects.
