Let the blood flow! Red energy gives you health

Getting sick at MTC is unbalanced energetically. Our "blood" may be deficient, which does not mean anemic. It may not be able to properly nourish all our tissues when encountering blockages.

The "blood" (xue) and health in Chinese medicine

When we wake up, the blood starts moving. The night has served to regenerate and now is back in shape. The first pumping occurs with the first steps. We have to take more oxygen to the muscles, we start walking and it costs us a little.

The function of the Xue is clear: feed and hydrate; Blood is water with nutrients. As soon as it has moistened the tissues, we feel agile and awake.

If we do things well for the rest of the day-we feed, drink and rest properly-it will not give signs of danger. If not, there is to stop and make us reflect on what is happening.

The three pathological states of Xue give us clear symptoms:

• Deficiency: the blood warms us; If I have little blood, my skin is pale, I have no color and I can be cold.
• Stagnation: if it is stuck somewhere, blood will not feed my tissues. I can have cramps or tingling.
• Heat: if something overheats, it rises like steam to the head, we turn red, we turn on and fire through the mouth with four screams. Emotions warm us up, make us angry and, above all, move us.

Xue roots the mind

The brain needs a lot of food. If we lack blood, it does not work well. Typical signs are lack of concentration or memory loss. Other symptoms that warn us are dizziness and dizziness. When we suddenly get up we spin around. Since we are just xue, it can not respond so fast. The malnourished brain complains and forces us to go slower.

The cause of these symptoms is not always a deficiency. To get to the head the blood must overcome a neck often tense and contracted. Only by relaxing it the stagnation disappears and also the problems.
