1.What is varicose vein of lower extremity (fascia)? Varicose veins in the lower extremities are common clinical peripheral vascular disease, mainly manifested as maggot-like or lump-like bulging of the veins in the lower extremities, accompanied by lower extremity soreness, weakness and hidden pain. This disease is mostly found in people who are engaged in permanent standing work, manual laborers or those who sit for a long time with little movement.

In Ling Shu? It is described in the book “The sinews are bent and cannot be stretched, and the evil qi resides between them and does not return, resulting in tendon tumors”. In addition, this disease is also related to the deficiency of positive qi, due to congenital deficiency, or acquired overwork, long standing depletion of qi, qi deficiency and inability to transport blood, resulting in stagnation of veins and channels, blockage and blockage. Therefore, the occurrence of tendon tumor is based on the deficiency of positive qi and the stagnation of qi and blood stasis. Modern medicine believes that varicose veins in the lower limbs are related to the weakness of vein walls, venous valve defects and elevated pressure in superficial veins, which leads to local blood circulation disorders and obstruction of venous reflux in the lower limbs. 3.What is fire acupuncture therapy?
