How to regulate qi stagnation and blood stasis

1. Change your eating habits : Eating greasy and sweet foods, or consuming too much salt and not drinking enough water will cause the blood to become too viscous, which will eventually lead to poor blood circulation and cause blood stasis.

2. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption : Excessive smoking and alcohol consumption will cause carbon monoxide to combine with hemoglobin in the body and slow down blood circulation. This is especially true for people with blood stasis. It will cause more phlegm to accumulate in the body, thereby clogging the blood somewhere in the body and forming blood stasis.

3. Maintain a good mood : inner worries accelerate the aging of the human body. People who are depressed and unhappy are twice as likely to suffer from heart disease as normal people.

4. Strengthen exercise : Life lies in movement. Exercise promotes human metabolism, thereby accelerating the energy circulation in the body and helping people eliminate waste. If you do not exercise for a long time and work and live in a sitting manner every day, blood stasis will form over time.

5. Ensure sleep : Adults need an average of 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep every night to ensure health. However, many people with blood stasis constitution often suffer from lack of sleep and immune system disorders due to work pressure.

6. Drink more water : If you do not replenish water in time, the water content in the blood will decrease, resulting in increased blood viscosity and slow blood circulation.

7. Do not stay in a cold environment : In addition to keeping warm with clothes and blankets, you should not stay in a cold environment for too long. The room temperature in winter should not be lower than 20 degrees Celsius. When using air conditioning to cool down in the summer, the room temperature should not be too low, generally it should be kept at around 25-26 degrees.

8. Foot soaking : Bathing in hot water every day is beneficial to improving the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body. If you can take medicated baths and massage regularly, the effect will be better.
