The management of Qi and blood stasis and insufficiency needs to be decided according to the patient’s physical condition as to whether to dispel stasis first and then tonify Qi and blood, or to dispel stasis and regulate Qi and blood at the same time.
Generally, according to the location of stasis and blood stagnation and the patient’s general condition, suitable prescriptions are chosen. Common prescriptions for removing stasis are Shaobuyu Tang, Taohong Siwu Tang, and so on. Common medicinal foods to regulate qi and blood are red dates, Colla Corii Asini, red-coated peanuts and so on.
When the patient’s general condition is good and his spirit is fine, according to the treatment principle of Chinese medicine, we can first get rid of the evil and then correct it, that is to say, we can use medicines to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, commonly used medicines to activate blood circulation include Chuanxiong, Taohong, Angelica, etc., and then we can use medicines to replenish the qi and blood after the blood stasis has been eliminated.
When the patient’s general condition is poor, and his mental and nutritional status is poor, the patient can be supported first before dispelling the evil. That is to say, we can use some qi replenishing drugs such as Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes Macrocephala, Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, etc., and then use drugs to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis after the body’s qi and blood have been restored.
If you need to use medication, please take it under the guidance of a professional doctor.
