<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Blood Stasis''' is a term used in [[traditional Chinese medicine]] (TCM) to describe a pathological condition where the normal flow of blood through the body is impeded or slowed. This condition is believed to be caused by a variety of factors including injury, emotional trauma, or chronic illness. <br />
<br />
== Causes and Symptoms ==<br />
<br />
According to TCM, blood stasis can be caused by a variety of factors. These include physical trauma, emotional trauma, chronic illness, or a lack of physical activity. Symptoms of blood stasis can vary widely, but often include pain, numbness, swelling, and discoloration of the skin.<br />
<br />
== Diagnosis ==<br />
<br />
In TCM, diagnosis of blood stasis is typically made through a combination of patient history, physical examination, and observation of the tongue and pulse. The presence of certain signs, such as a dark, purplish tongue or a choppy pulse, can indicate blood stasis.<br />
<br />
== Treatment ==<br />
<br />
Treatment for blood stasis in TCM typically involves a combination of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes. Herbal formulas used to treat blood stasis often include herbs that are believed to invigorate the blood, such as [[dang gui]] and [[chuan xiong]]. Acupuncture points often used in the treatment of blood stasis include SP10 and BL17.<br />
