Women over the age of 30 face many skin problems, and we usually observe spots on the face, especially after childbirth. These spots not only affect the appearance but can also be a sign of a physical health condition. Often, these spots are considered a sign of poor circulation. In TCM theory, this phenomenon is known as "blood stasis". Blood stasis not only manifests as spots on the face, but can also form nodules or lumps such as fibroids inside the body. Blood stasis in the body is more dangerous than spots on the face.
Two kinds of prescriptions that can sweep away stasis and blockage can easily loosen blood stasis and invigorate blood comfortably
Xuefu Zhuyu Soup: A classic prescription of Wang Qingren in the Qing Dynasty
In Wang Qingren's "Medical Forest Correction Error", we found an ancient recipe called "Xuefu Zhuyu Soup". This extraordinary medical scientist of the Qing Dynasty had profound insights in the field of blood circulation and blood stasis. Today, when modern people are faced with overnutrition and health challenges brought about by lifestyle, this decoction is even more important. Pain such as wind, cold, long-term sitting, long-standing injury, and various pathological changes in the body are all closely related to poor qi and blood.
The decoction consists of a variety of herbs, including peach kernel, safflower, angelica, raw land, hyssop, etc. These ingredients are designed to nourish the blood and promote blood circulation, thereby effectively relieving various symptoms caused by poor qi and blood, such as chest tightness, palpitations, abnormal sweating, etc. This traditional decoction is simple to make, and the medicinal effect can be extracted by decoction.
Hua Xi Tong Jing San: Zhang Xichun's innovative formula
Zhang Xichun, a famous medical scientist during the Republic of China, also offered his medical wisdom and created the "Dissolving Stasis and Tongjing San". This formula is based on chicken inner gold and is specifically used to unblock blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis.
Chicken inner gold, a special substance found in chicken gizzards, has been used in the development of effective traditional Chinese medicine. Combined with herbs such as hawthorn and atractylodes, this formula not only promotes blood circulation, but also helps to protect stomach health. This natural agent can be used to treat poor circulation and related symptoms such as lumps and pain.
If the qi and blood are blocked and the meridians are blocked, the blood will run slowly, and there will be blood stasis. A woman's blood stasis will also affect a woman's health and greatly reduce a woman's beauty
About menstrual irregularities and dysmenorrhea:
When a woman's blood flow is poor, it often leads to menstrual problems. For example, menstruation may be irregular, painful, and may even cause amenorrhea. There may also be purple-black blood clots during menstruation, which are signs of blocked blood flow.
For complexion and skin tone:
Poor blood flow not only affects the health of the body, but also reflects on the complexion. Dull complexion or even dark spots on the face can be outward signs of poor blood flow. Just like if a river doesn't flow well, the water becomes muddy.
About lip color variations:
The color of the lips also reflects the flow of blood. If the color of your lips changes from a healthy rosy to dull, it could be a sign of poor blood flow. Just like when there is a traffic jam, there is a traffic jam, blood can also accumulate in certain parts of the body, affecting the color.
About dry and rough skin:
Poor blood circulation can also lead to skin problems such as the skin becoming dry and rough. It's like the land dries out and cracks when it's dehydrated, and the skin doesn't get enough blood to nourish it, and a similar situation can happen.
