When Qi is stagnant, blood becomes congestedWhen a person gets angry, it affects the circular movement within the body, leading to abnormalities in the rise and fall of Qi.Qi is the driving force behind blood circulation. If the liver Qi is stagnant and the Qi mechanism is obstructed, it naturally cannot provide sufficient power, resulting in poor blood circulation and ultimately leading to blood stasis.This is what we commonly refer to as “Qi stagnation and blood stasis.” A considerable number of women experience Qi stagnation and blood stasis, with varying degrees of severity, and some have already developed diseases.The diseases most easily caused by Qi stagnation and blood stasis include the following:Coronary Heart DiseaseWhen Qi stagnation and blood stasis occur in the heart, it can lead to coronary atherosclerosis, narrowing and blockage of blood vessels, and poor blood flow, resulting in myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, and even necrosis. Early coronary heart disease may present as chest tightness and pain, known as angina pectoris, while later stages can lead to myocardial infarction.StrokeWhen Qi stagnation and blood stasis occur in the brain, it can lead to ischemia and hypoxia in the brain, causing necrosis of brain tissue, which manifests as sudden fainting, hemiplegia, and language and cognitive impairments.HypertensionWhen blood stasis causes blockage in a certain part of the body, the body will increase pressure to allow blood to pass through, attempting to break through the obstruction, resulting in hypertension. There are many factors contributing to hypertension, and blood stasis is a significant one.Skin DiseasesQi stagnation and blood stasis can lead to neurodermatitis, alopecia areata, and chloasma, as well as some stubborn skin diseases such as chronic urticaria, eczema, and dermatitis.Gynecological DiseasesQi stagnation and blood stasis can lead to irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, blocked fallopian tubes, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, amenorrhea, menopausal syndrome, post-abortion low back pain and bleeding, breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts.Neurological DisordersInsomnia, somnambulism, epilepsy, anxiety disorders, and autonomic nervous dysfunction are all closely related to Qi stagnation and blood stasis.Limbs DiseasesQi stagnation and blood stasis can also lead to lower limb weakness, numbness in hands and feet, and thrombophlebitis.It can be said that the diseases caused by Qi stagnation and blood stasis are not just one disease, but a multitude of conditions. Even the ones listed above are just a small part of them, as space is limited, and the vast majority have not been mentioned. I believe there are even more issues that have not been discovered.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) does not target specific diseases like Western medicine; instead, it focuses on regulating the state of Qi stagnation and blood stasis in the body. As long as we find ways to get the circular movement within the body going and allow blood to flow smoothly, many difficult and complicated diseases can be cured.For this reason, many people who have been cured by TCM ask the doctor, “What disease did I have?” The doctor can only say, “You had Qi stagnation and blood stasis.” As for the specific disease name, they cannot provide it.Some people criticize TCM for being imprecise and unscientific; in fact, they do not understand that TCM and Western medicine have completely different understandings of the body and diseases.8. Regardless of the difficult and complicated diseases, as long as the liver Qi is not smooth, “Jie Yu Decoction” can be used.The “Huangdi Neijing” states: “If it cannot be treated, it is because the method has not been obtained.”Difficult and complicated diseases are not incurable; it is just that you have not found the correct method.A woman in her 40s from Beijing went south for the Spring Festival and returned to Beijing with a strange illness—pain in the left side of her abdomen, radiating to her lower back.She went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for examination, and the doctor responsibly listed all possible causes and ruled them out one by one.Initially, the doctor suspected inflammation of the gynecological appendages, which was ruled out after examination;then, they suspected intestinal adhesions, which were also ruled out; later, they found a nodule in the liver, which scared her and caused several days of anxiety, but fortunately, it was also ruled out.After going through a series of tests, spending a lot of money, and experiencing considerable fright, the doctor finally told her: “Go back, no organic lesions were found, and there is currently no major problem; continue to observe.”Since there is no major problem, why does she feel so uncomfortable?Later, she found me, and upon examination, I determined that she also had liver Qi stagnation, so I advised her to soak her feet in “Jie Yu Decoction.” Just three days later, she reported back: “The pain is gone!” Why did I use this formula for her?Because the liver meridian runs through the lower abdomen, which is the lower abdomen, and the gallbladder meridian is also related to the abdomen and lower back. At this time, it was spring, which corresponds to the liver, and the onset of the disease should be related to liver and gallbladder imbalance.I have seen many cases of this disease occurring in spring, all presenting with pain on the side of the lower abdomen radiating to the lower back, and they were all successfully cured by soothing the liver and regulating Qi.So I made an immediate judgment, and combined with tongue and pulse diagnosis, I confirmed it without a doubt.Some women suddenly feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and a feeling of heat all over, as if they are about to faint.They usually think they have heart disease, but when they go to the hospital for examination, there is no problem with the heart. If they look at their tongue in the mirror, they will definitely find that the tongue is pointed and the edges are very red, which is also caused by liver Qi stagnation leading to emotional disorders, known in Western psychology as acute anxiety disorder.In fact, many of the difficult and complicated diseases that women experience are related to liver Qi stagnation. At this time, do not worry about the symptoms; as long as it can be confirmed that it is liver Qi stagnation, “Jie Yu Decoction” can be used for foot soaking.The Magical “Jie Yu Decoction”Any woman with liver Qi stagnation can use “Jie Yu Decoction” for foot soaking.Formula:Chai Hu (Bupleurum) 6g, Huang Qin (Scutellaria) 6g, Fa Ban Xia (Pinellia) 6g, Dang Shen (Codonopsis) 6g, Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice) 6g, Fu Ling (Poria) 30g, Zhuan Long Gu (Calcined Dragon Bone) 30g, Zhuan Mu Li (Calcined Oyster Shell) 30g, Zhen Zhu Mu (Mother of Pearl) 30g, Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) 6g, Yu Jin (Curcuma) 6g, Yuan Zhi (Polygala) 6g, Xiang Fu (Cyperus) 6g, Bai Shao (White Peony) 6g, Sheng Di (Rehmannia) 6g, Dan Pi (Moutan) 6g, Chao Zhi Zi (Stir-fried Gardenia) 6g, Da Zao (Jujube) 12 pieces (broken), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) 3 slices.

Not suitable for pregnant women.Generally, soaking for one to two weeks can resolve liver Qi stagnation, and various discomfort symptoms will disappear, leaving the person feeling refreshed and energetic.This formula is based on Zhang Zhongjing’s Chai Hu Jia Long Gu Mu Li Decoction, modified based on years of practical experience, gradually exploring and adjusting, ultimately determining a method of modification with remarkable effects.To better illustrate its function and efficacy, I have given it a new name—”Jie Yu Decoction.”90% of women’s diseases are caused by repression: Dr. Luo teaches you not to be repressed, not to get angry, and not to get sick / Luo Dalun. — Tianjin: Tianjin Science and Technology Press, March 2020.You may also like, click to read the original text:Luo Dalun: What is lacking in a child’s “Five Elements”?
