How to treat blood circulation blockage

In traditional Chinese medicine, the blood meridians of the human body are very important, because many diseases are related to these two. Of course, TCM’s description of diseases is different from Western medicine’s, and the treatment methods are also different. So in the final analysis, when seeing a doctor, whether to choose Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine depends on how you make the decision. So the question is, how to treat blood circulation blockage?

Traditional Chinese medicine says that if the blood vessels are unblocked, there will be no pain, and if there is pain, there will be blockage. Blockage of blood vessels can occur in any part of the body, because most of the body has blood vessels. In the heart, it will cause angina pectoris and chest tightness. In the limbs, it will cause pain, numbness, or bruises, and other symptoms. Blockage of blood vessels can be cured by promoting blood circulation and unblocking blood vessels. It is not a serious symptom, so don't worry too much.
