Meaning of Blood in Chinese Medicine

In Chinese medicine, the concept of "Blood" is profoundly significant—far more encompassing than the Western medical understanding of blood. Blood, in the Chinese sense, houses your Mind, or Shen, which explains why severe hemorrhage can lead to a visible disintegration of someone’s personality. Blood shares a vital relationship with Qi, the life force within you, emphasizing its role in both physical and emotional well-being.

This seminar will explore how to build and maintain healthy Blood and address the consequences of Blood deficiency and Blood stagnation. We’ll discuss conditions linked to these imbalances, such as insomnia, fatigue, painful periods, infertility, and endometriosis—common challenges in modern times.
