According to TCM nutrition, foods that can help reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis include rape, cichlid mushrooms, peaches, etc. However, the foods are only auxiliary and cannot fully play a therapeutic role.
Oilseed rape is a cruciferous plant that is pungent, sweet and cool in nature, and enters the lung and liver meridians. It has the effect of removing blood stasis and eliminating swelling and detoxification;
Ci mushrooms are bitter, sweet, slightly cold, with the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, promoting lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, eliminating swelling and dissipating blood stasis, and can be taken by decocting ci mushrooms with water;
Peaches are sweet, sour and warm, entering the large intestine and liver meridian, with the efficacy of generating fluids, moistening the intestines, activating blood circulation and eliminating swelling, etc. However, because of its warm nature, it is easy to eat more bloating and easy to get carbuncles.
Although there are more foods that can reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis, food only has a supplementary effect and cannot play a better therapeutic effect. Therefore, if your symptoms are more serious, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to use proprietary Chinese medicines to treat them, such as Hematopoietic Blood Stasis Dispersing Soup and Qi Ci San and other medicines to dissolve blood stasis and invigorate blood circulation. Do not use drugs privately, so as not to cause damage to the organism.
