The words and explanations crack me up. When I was in college, my friends and I used to come up with random phrases from the TCM dictionary and try to stump the class. Everyone would get a chuckle. Now days, I don&#8217;t have many to chuckle with &#8216;in person&#8217; because most of my colleagues have scattered around the world. Hopefully today, you and I can chuckle together.<\/p>\n<p>The Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine has dedicated <strong>16 pages<\/strong> toward blood-related TCM problems. Let&#8217;s take a look at a few.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Heat in the blood:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0* \u00a0Blood Arrow:<\/strong> <\/em>Spontaneous bleeding from the pores&#8211;that<br \/>\nsometimes spews out like an arrow from the body.<br \/>\n<em><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0* \u00a0Blood Chest Bind:<\/strong> <\/em>Masses in the chest are known as<br \/>\nstagnant blood caused by heat.<br \/>\n<em><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0* \u00a0Blood Concretion:<\/strong><\/em> Abdominal lumps from an accumulation of stagnant blood, which has congested in the channel.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Cold in the blood:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a0<em>Blood Mounting<\/em>:<\/strong> Painful hardness in the lower abdomen which can be accompanied by black stool and\/or swelling of the scrotum from past injury.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>\u00a0Blood Cold:<\/strong> <\/em>Cold causes blood to congeal. What would happen if you put blood in the refrigerator? It would clot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Not enough blood:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Thirst:<\/strong><\/em> Not enough blood in the body&#8211;headache, miscarriage, deafness, lumbar pain, lack of strength in the extremities. (This reminds me of a vampire thirsting for blood.)<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Desiccation Menstrual Block:<\/strong> <\/em>A woman who has had extreme blood loss. Her periods gradually become lighter and lighter, to the point where she has none. Some may <em>think<\/em> they are going through early menopause, when in fact they are deficient in blood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Blood not moving:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Drum<\/strong><\/em>: When blood stagnation keeps fluids from moving in the abdomen resulting in a greatly enlarged abdomen with blue veins protruding at the surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blood Mole:<\/strong> Found on the face, neck and trunk. When squeezed they bleed. (I&#8217;m thinking this is a pimple!)<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Stasis Wilting:<\/strong> <\/em>Stagnant blood in the joints from past injuries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Blood not staying put:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Ejection:<\/strong> <\/em>Vomiting blood.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Failing to stay in the channels:<\/strong><\/em> Spontaneous bleeding such as nosebleeds; bloody stool or urine.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Blood Flying to the Eye:<\/strong><\/em> Red blood vessels in the eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Quote: &#8220;All the bowels and viscera and all parts of the body rely on the blood for nourishment.&#8221;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The baseline definition of &#8220;blood&#8221; links the following organs as important team players in the role of creating and moving blood: Spleen, Stomach, Heart, Lung, and Liver. Another organ to consider is the Triple Energizer because of its relation to fluids.\u00a0 If you have been an acupuncturist for any amount of time, you realize a patient who comes in with imbalances to a combination of these organs will present with a plethora of symptoms. Often these patients will have chronic pain&#8211;and more than likely &#8220;Chronic Dehydration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9658 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/water-hi-res.jpg\" alt=\"water-hi-res\" width=\"260\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/water-hi-res.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/water-hi-res-300x284.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>Quote<\/strong>: <strong>&#8220;Blood is the mother of qi. The nourishing action of blood is necessary for the activity of qi.&#8221;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If blood does not function properly, then qi cannot move well either. As acupuncture practitioners, our primary purpose is to put the body back into balance by moving qi and blood in the meridian systems.<\/p>\n<p>The question to ask is this: <strong>How are we going to move qi if the patient doesn&#8217;t drink enough water to keep the blood flowing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>My own analysis:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It is absolutely necessary that patients drink enough water to help in the treatment process. I am realizing that <strong>almost every patient with CHRONIC PAIN also suffers from &#8220;Chronic Dehydration.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These patients come in with the same problems, year after year&#8230; You do your very best to take good care of them, but if they don&#8217;t take care of themselves by drinking plenty of water, your hands are partially tied as a practitioner. You can only work with the resources that are available to you. Blood that doesn&#8217;t have enough water is STAGNANT blood and it just doesn&#8217;t move well.<\/p>\n<p>In the next blog I&#8217;ll share two patients. One has chronic hives, obesity, and chronic pain. The other has fibromyalgia and mood swings. I challenged both of these patients to increase their water intake to 2-3 liters of water per day. I&#8217;m really excited to share the changes that occurred with these patients.
