	Network Vessel Pricking: The Forgotten Key to Chronic Problems - Blue Poppy Press
		It is a statement of fact in Chinese medicine that, “New diseases are in the channels; enduring diseases enter the network vessels.” This means that all chronic, enduring diseases eventually result in the blood stasis which then obstructs and hinders the free flow of the network vessels.

		In Chinese medicine, depending on the main presenting manifestations, coronary artery disease is traditionally categorized as chest impediment (xiong bi), chest pain (xiong tong), true heart pain (zhen xin tong) and reversal heart pain (jue xin tong), i.e., heart pain with chilled limbs.
		Hence, the pattern was discriminated as heart qi and blood stasis and stagnation due to congealed cold and constructive heat mutually binding and inhibiting the movement of the vessels.
		Hence, a formula to quicken the blood and transform stasis with the addition of qi-boosting medicinals was administered to further stabilize the treatment effect.

	Acupuncture.Com - Education - Theory - Pts for Blood
		Impairment of blood circulation and consequent stasis may be due to stagnation or deficiency of qi, traumatic injury, haemorrhage, penetration of cold, blood deficiency, heat, chronic disease or emotional factors, and may give rise to many different disorders of menstruation.
		Acute severe pain from blood stasis which threatens the survival of the Heart zang is therefore primarily treated by using points of the Pericardium channel, the 'protector' of the Heart.
		An alternative explanation for this manifestation is that blood stasis may both transform to heat and obstruct the blood vessels, preventing nourishment from reaching the Heart.

		Blood stasis, a condition where small vessels are not capable of carrying normal blood flow, is believed to be the cause of severe pain, especially lower abdominal pain, and it is believed responsible for many cases of excessive menstrual bleeding and infertility.

		Its function is "to promote blood circulation and remove stasis, as well as activate the flow of qi and relieve pain." Its primary indications are headache and chest pain due to blood stasis or poor blood circulation.

		In Chinese medicine, heat harassing the spirit, vacuity failing to construct and nourish spirit, and either blood stasis or phlegm blocking the orifices are the three main causes of all psychological disturbances and psychiatric disorders.
		Although blood stasis associated with psychological complaints is often the result of enduring qi stagnation and/or phlegm obstruction, it may also be due to traumatic injury to the brain.
		In Chinese medicine, traumatic injury may cause a severance or rupture in the channels and vessels which then allows the blood to leave those channels and vessels.

	GastroIntestinal Stasis: The Silent Killer
		The slowdown or cessation of peristalsis of the intestine is known as gastrointestinal (GI) stasis or ileus.
		With GI stasis, the normal, quiet gurgling of the healthy intestine may be replaced either by very loud, violent gurgles (gas moving around painfully!) or silence.
		Rabbits in GI stasis tend to be unwilling to eat or drink, so it may be a good idea to administer subcutaneous fluids as a precaution, unless the rabbit has known kidney or heart malfunctions, or other problems that your vet will be able to determine that would contradict administration of subQ fluids.
