Did you know endometrial lesions are laid down at birth or arrive outside the uterus via retrograde menstruation?
Chinese Medicine considers endometriosis, and any menstrual pain, to be a stagnation of menstrual flow. This is termed Blood Stagnation and has a number of causes including:
🩸Blood deficiency. This is where there is not enough Blood to fill the vessels and flow properly. Similar to the slow trickle of a river in late summer.
🩸Cold blockage. This comes from either a lack of yang life force (burn out), or over exposure to cold through diet or the environment.
🩸Stagnation of Qi. It is said that Qi moves the blood, when we become stressed our Qi flow stagnates. Long term Qi stasis can in itself cause pain and eventually will result in the stagnation of blood flow.
🩸Damp accumulation. This usually stems from poor digestion. When we are unable to metabolize our food properly it accumulates as Dampness blocking Qi and Blood flow.
