There is a classic saying in traditional Chinese medicine: "When the numbness is strong, the qi cannot reach; when the wood is weak, the blood cannot flow. This sentence highly summarizes the etiology and pathogenesis of numbness in the limbs, which is the blockage of qi and blood. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, "Qi is the leader of blood, and blood is the mother of Qi." The movement of blood relies on the propulsion of Qi to keep running. When the body's qi is insufficient and unable to promote blood circulation, blood retention occurs, forming blood stasis. Qi deficiency and blood stasis can lead to insufficient blood supply to the distal limbs, resulting in numbness.

Huangqi (Astragalus membranaceus) is a medicinal herb that greatly replenishes vital energy and stimulates it to promote blood circulation. Danggui, Chishao, and Honghua are medicinal herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, improve microcirculation, and ensure smooth blood flow. Using centipedes and insects to search and eliminate wind and unblock meridians, Tianma, as the name suggests, is named after its ability to treat numbness and is commonly used as an adjunctive medicine. Guizhi warms the meridians, runs horizontally through the limbs and arms, and brings herbs upward to both arms. Achyranthes bidentata nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens muscles and bones, and brings various herbs to the waist, knees, and lower limbs. The two herbs together serve as medicinal herbs. The combined use of various medicines has the effect of tonifying qi and activating blood circulation, dispelling wind and unblocking meridians, and promoting the circulation of qi and blood.

After converting to Buddhism, I made a vow to publicly disclose my family's secret recipe, hoping to help those suffering from illnesses and relieve their pain as soon as possible. Let everyone no longer hesitate about high medical expenses when they are sick. After being diagnosed, follow the prescription and go to any pharmacy near you to get medicine.
