Is Traditional Chinese Medicine's blood stasis removal therapy reliable?

In our country, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a very long history, and some new treatment methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine are now also used in clinical treatment. For example, Traditional Chinese Medicine blood stasis removal therapy has been particularly popular in recent years. It seems that this method has some tendency towards self-harm, allowing fresh blood to flow out of the body, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. So, is TCM blood stasis removal therapy a reliable treatment method?

In fact, it is credible to understand it in principle, but why do some people have misunderstandings? It is because there is a therapy that is similar to the blood stasis removal therapy, bloodletting therapy, which improves the disease by releasing arterial blood from a certain part. Although blood stasis removal is blood removal, its essence is completely different. The blood stasis removal doctor removes the blood from the capillaries, because the capillaries are most prone to blockage.

The direct cause of poor blood circulation is blood stasis that blocks blood vessels. Conversely, blood flow is blocked wherever there is blood stasis. For the phenomenon caused by poor blood circulation, as long as we reason from the opposite side, we can know the location of the blood stasis.

The phenomenon caused by poor blood circulation can be observed from the following aspects:

Locally cool and moist:

The blood vessels are blocked and blood circulation cannot proceed normally, so this area will feel cold.

Local skin darkening:

Under normal conditions, the lifespan of cells is 45 days. So what is the reason for dark skin? This is caused by excessive concentration of aging cells. The excessive concentration of aging cells is caused by the blockage of blood vessels, which cannot supply nutrients in time and the inability of cells to carry out normal metabolism. That is to say, metabolism fails to take place in time within the 45-day cycle.

Large pores:

The areas with large pores are the areas that sweat a lot, and the areas that sweat a lot are usually prone to cold. Local cooling is caused by poor blood circulation, which is caused by blood stasis blocking blood vessels.

Stiff skin:

The skin becomes stiff because the cells are suffocating due to lack of oxygen. Oxygen supply and blood supply should be coordinated with each other. When blood supply is blocked, the oxygen supply will naturally be affected.
