What does blood vessel blockage mean in Chinese medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood vessel blockage is the accumulation of too many substances in the human body, which leads to blood vessel blockage and affects blood circulation. These accumulated substances include blood lipids, cholesterol, fibrin and so on. It will form deposits on the inner wall of blood vessels, which will eventually lead to stenosis or even occlusion of blood vessels. Vascular blockage is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly people, which seriously affects people's quality of life and health.

Chinese medicine believes that the key to prevent and treat blood vessel blockage is to maintain good living habits, including reasonable diet, proper weight, moderate exercise, and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking and drinking. In addition, Chinese medicine also pays attention to regulating the internal environment of the human body, improving immunity and antioxidant capacity, reducing the accumulation of accumulated substances in the body, and helping to prevent and treat blood vessel blockage.

The treatment of vascular obstruction in traditional Chinese medicine mainly adopts two methods: holistic conditioning and drug treatment. Holistic conditioning, including acupuncture, massage, qigong and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, is often used to prevent and treat vascular occlusion at an early stage. Drug treatment is mainly Chinese patent medicine, such as promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, reducing blood lipid and regulating blood pressure. When using Chinese patent medicine to treat vascular occlusion, we should pay attention to the dosage and usage of the medicine and the possible adverse reactions.
