The concept of treating pain in traditional Chinese medicine holds that "it hurts if it doesn't work", and chronic pain can be treated by medicinal bath, steam hot compress, meridian massage and other methods. For the pain caused by blood stasis, the traditional Chinese medicine "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" is most commonly used. Oral administration, even combined with acupuncture or external application of plaster and cupping and bloodletting, can dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation, quickly dissolve and absorb pathological products (blood stasis and phlegm retention) caused by poor circulation, and restore blood patency, thus achieving the purpose of relieving pain.
Clinically, the prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis are commonly used, such as Xuefu Zhuyu decoction, Shaofu Zhuyu decoction, Shentong Zhuyu decoction, Shangkang Huoxue decoction and so on. Traditional Chinese medicines, such as peach kernel, safflower, red peony root, Eupatorium adenophorum, Radix Curcumae, Rhizoma Corydalis and Achyranthis Radix, can continuously dilate blood vessels and promote metabolism, so they have a good effect on relieving pain, especially sciatica, bone spur, low back pain, headache, fifty shoulders, traumatic injury and even female physiological pain.
Besides, Chen Chaozong, a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that if it is chronic pain, it can be relieved by drug washing, steam hot compress, meridian massage, external application of Cao Qing ointment, acupuncture, electroacupuncture and other methods.
