Clots in blood refer to the formation of semi-solid masses or clumps within the circulatory system or as part of menstrual blood. These clots, often seen as small clots in menstrual blood or as dark menstrual clots, signify a coagulation process where blood transitions from a liquid to a thicker, gel-like state. In medical terms, blood clotting is a crucial mechanism to prevent excessive bleeding, but abnormal clotting can be a sign of underlying health concerns.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets clots in blood as an indication of underlying disharmonies within the body's natural balance. TCM views the presence of clots, particularly in menstrual blood, as a signal of Qi (vital energy) and Blood Stagnation.
This perspective emphasizes the importance of understanding and treating the root causes of disharmony, rather than merely addressing the symptoms. In TCM, every symptom, including the formation of clots, is seen as part of a broader pattern of health and imbalance.
