Blood Staganation-Obesity

Blood Staganation is another pattern from Chinese Medicine point of view behind the obesity.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), “blood stagnation” (also known as “blood stasis” or “blood stagnation syndrome”) refers to a condition where the flow of blood in the body is impeded or obstructed. This can lead to pain, swelling, and other symptoms in the affected area.

According to TCM theory, blood stagnation can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, emotional stress, and certain lifestyle habits. It can also be associated with other underlying conditions such as menstrual disorders, varicose veins, and cardiovascular disease.

Signs and symptoms of blood stagnation may include:

• Pain or discomfort in the affected area
• Swelling or inflammation
• Purple or dark discoloration of the skin
• Coldness or numbness
• Restricted movement or stiffness

TCM practitioners may use various methods to help address blood stagnation, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary changes. Treatment aims to improve circulation and promote the movement of blood in the affected area, as well as addressing any underlying causes of the condition.
