Many people may face problems such as nodules, polyps or cysts, which are mostly benign but considered by TCM to be symptoms of a mixture of phlegm and stasis. Surgery is only a symptom, but conditioning the body is the root cause. Have you noticed ecchymosis, enlarged veins, or spots on your body? This may be a sign that you have phlegm, dampness or blood stasis in your body, and you are starting to pay attention to and regulate your body?
Manifestations of phlegm dampness as well as symptoms of the body
Phlegm-dampness constitution in traditional Chinese medicine refers to a state of dampness and phlegm turbidity retention in the body, which will produce a series of obvious symptoms and manifestations on the body.
First of all, people with phlegm-damp constitution often have symptoms of obesity and a plump and floppy abdomen. This is because the weight of moisture tends to slow down the body's metabolism, which leads to weight gain. At the same time, phlegm and dampness can also cause swelling of the body, especially the lower body, making the body look more bloated.
Secondly, people with phlegm-dampness constitution can also have problems with the digestive system. They may experience chest tightness, bloating, loss of appetite, and even occasional nausea and vomiting. Stools may also be unformed or sticky, as dampness affects the normal function of the spleen and stomach.
In addition, phlegm and dampness can also cause people to feel heavy and weak, and the whole person is easily fatigued. At the same time, people with phlegm-damp constitution often have a feeling of dizziness and heaviness, and memory may also decline, because dampness hinders the rise of Qingyang and affects the normal function of the head.
Finally, people with phlegm-damp constitution will also have obvious manifestations on the tongue. Their tongue coating is usually thick and greasy, and may be pale or yellowish in color, which is a direct reflection of moisture and phlegm cloudiness on the tongue. At the same time, they may feel sticky and unpleasant in their mouth, or even have a sweet feeling, which is also a typical symptom of phlegm dampness.
These symptoms are typical manifestations of phlegm-dampness constitution, and if these symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and improve phlegm-dampness constitution through reasonable diet and lifestyle adjustments.
What are the manifestations of blood stasis and what are the symptoms of the body
Blood stasis is a common pathological condition in traditional Chinese medicine, which occurs when the blood in the body does not run smoothly, resulting in blood stasis. This state produces a distinct set of symptoms and manifestations on the body.
First of all, the most typical manifestation of bruising is pain. Due to blood stasis, the flow of qi and blood is blocked, and patients may feel a stabbing or dull ache, and the painful area is often fixed. This pain may worsen with the severity of the bruising, causing great distress to the patient.
Secondly, bruising can also cause abnormalities in the skin. Patients may experience rough skin, dull color, and even ecchymosis or petechiae. These purple spots or patches are a direct manifestation of blood pooling under the skin, affecting the appearance and health of the skin.
In addition, people with blood stasis may also have bruising of the lips and claws, which is due to blood stasis affecting peripheral blood circulation. At the same time, patients may also have purple or dark tongue or ecchymosis, and the pulse may also be astringent or stringy.
Finally, bruising can also cause systemic symptoms, such as a dull complexion and fatigue. These symptoms are due to blood stasis blocking the normal operation of qi and blood, resulting in the body not getting enough nutrients and oxygen supply.
In summary, blood stasis can cause a variety of symptoms in the body, including pain, skin abnormalities, bruising of the lips, claws, nails, and systemic symptoms. If these symptoms occur, you should seek medical diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures in time to dissipate blood stasis and restore the health of the body. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits and diet, and enhancing physical exercise can also help improve blood stasis.
