The blood vessels on the arms are obviously blue

Compared to other parts of the body, many people will find that the blood vessels on their arms are very obvious and bluish in color. Many people don’t actually care much about this situation. In fact, this situation is what people often call blue veins. Generally speaking, blue veins do not pose much harm to us, but if the blood vessels on the arms are obviously blue, it is still caused by physical conditions, so everyone should pay attention to it.

①Certificate name. The blue veins that are abnormally exposed on the human body surface. Caused by blood stasis, parasite accumulation or sha syndrome, etc. "Zhang's Medical Encyclopedia·Diarrhea" says: "Blood retention causes swelling, purple veins can be seen on the abdomen, or there are red streaks and marks on the hands and feet, urination is difficult, and the stool is black. The "Golden Chamber" says Yuxue Decoction..." Volume 4 of "Zheng Yin Mai Zhi" states: "A big belly with blue veins is a symptom of abdominal pain caused by worm accumulation." The so-called big belly with blue veins refers to a swollen abdomen and varicose veins in the abdominal wall.

The "blue veins" on the back of the hand are veins.

3. Refers to the veins that can be seen under the skin.

concept

Veins are channels through which blood flows back after passing through microcirculation.

The bulging blue veins indicate that blood return is obstructed and pressure is increased, which manifests as varicose veins, bulges, twisting, and finally discoloration. This indicates that physiological waste products such as blood stasis, dampness, heat toxins, and stagnation in the human body cannot be excreted from the body. This is a manifestation of waste stagnation in the human body. It is especially obvious in people who do not defecate for 3-5 days. If you defecate several times a day, the blue veins will become concave. If the meridians are unobstructed, there will be no pain; if there is pain, there will be blockage. If waste products such as cholesterol and blood lipids accumulate in the blood, it will cause high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; if there is waste accumulation or stool in our intestines, such as toxins, bacteria, mucus, etc., it will cause constipation; if there is accumulation in the meridians, it is generally the deposition of phlegm, dampness, blood stasis and toxins, causing some of our pain, inflammation and tumors.

It is said in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine: Meridians determine life and death and regulate deficiency and excess, and they must be unobstructed.

According to clinical experience, the following symptoms can be considered as reactions to excessive stagnation in the body:

1. Difficulty in defecation, black color (cancer and tumor patients have black stool), thick and sticky (cannot be flushed away with water), long defecation time, and more toilet paper is used (indicating that there are more toxins in our body);

2. Poor appetite (no appetite), loss of appetite, dry mouth, and thick tongue coating indicate that there are too many wastes in the body;

3. Excessive waste, easy fatigue, easy cold, repeated colds;

4. Shortness of breath, fatigue, poor spirit, unclear mind, insomnia and frequent dreams;

5. Massage, cupping, patting, and scraping can easily cause sha spots and lumps (sha is a manifestation of waste accumulation, and scraping is to scrape out the waste);

6. Prone to skin allergies, skin pigmentation, age spots, freckles, chloasma, leukoplakia, and blood moles;

7. Feeling cold when eating cold food and hot when eating hot food. Being afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer. Being unable to be nourished due to weak constitution. This is also a problem of waste accumulation. The best way is to clean it up;

8. Long-term mental and physical labor, work stress, depression, and lack of sleep;

9. Frequent feeling of low fever. “If there are blue veins across the bridge of the nose, you will cry three times for no reason.” Because blue veins on the bridge of the nose indicate poor digestive function of the spleen and stomach. Before the age of three, look at the bridge of the nose, and when the child grows up, look at the blue veins on the thenar eminence and the back of the hand.

The nature of stagnation

Stagnant matter is essentially waste in our bodies.

1. Phlegm (fat) - nodules, lipomas. People who eat a lot of fat tend to have a lot of phlegm, so-called "fat people have a lot of phlegm".

2. Dampness - swelling of hands and legs, fatigue.

3. Blood stasis - blood stasis pain.

4. Heat - getting angry, irritable, and inflammation. The accumulation of two "fires" is inflammation.

5. Toxins - tumors, cancer.

The shape and color of blue veins

1. Morphology: indicates the degree of stagnation. Some are straight, some are curved. Newborn babies have no blue veins, but as they get older, they have more and more blue veins. a. Blue veins - mild; b. Bulge - medium; c. Twist - severe.

2. Color - indicates the degree of poison. a. Cyan - light; b. Purple - medium; c. Black - heavy.

If the blue veins are raised, twisted, and dark purple, it means a serious illness is approaching. Wherever the bruise is on your hand, it is a problem and should be taken seriously. For example: if blue veins appear on the thenar eminence below the thumb, it indicates a heart problem, so be careful of coronary heart disease and heart disease; if blue veins appear on the middle finger, it indicates a brain problem; if you find that blue veins are protruding and twisted on the wrist, you should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately if you feel the slightest discomfort.
