Doctor, I find it strange that my mouth is particularly dry and I feel very thirsty, yet I just don’t want to drink water. Do you think this is a bit abnormal? He even questioned me about it; look at this, coming to see a doctor and causing trouble for the physician.
Actually, this situation does exist. When there is blood stasis in the body and blood circulation is not smooth, patients may feel thirsty but do not want to drink water.
Later, when we discuss blood conditions, we will introduce this point in detail.
Additionally, acupuncture points such as Sanyinjiao (三阴交) and Xuehai (血海) are where our blood converges.
Sanyinjiao is a Yin point; if you find Sanyinjiao and press on a painful spot, it indicates the presence of blood stasis. If blood stasis is not resolved, new blood cannot be generated.
When treating anemia, we cannot simply say, “Oh, you have anemia, so I will nourish your blood and prescribe Siwu Decoction (四物汤), and if there is insufficient Qi, I will add Bazhen Decoction (八珍汤).” If the patient has symptoms of blood stasis and you do not remove the blood stasis, it will be difficult for heart blood to be generated.
When prescribing blood-nourishing herbs, we often need to simultaneously activate blood circulation and resolve stasis; by removing blood stasis, new blood can naturally return, rather than just prescribing nourishing herbs.
When a patient has blood stasis, they actually do not respond to nourishment; if you prescribe nourishing herbs, their body will not accept it, and it may even make them feel worse.
