Overview of Circulatory Disorders
Circulatory disorders refer to conditions that affect the circulatory system, which is the body’s system for transporting blood, nutrients, and oxygen to the cells. The circulatory system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
Some common types of circulatory disorders include:
- Heart disease: A group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
High blood pressure (hypertension): A condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is consistently too high, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Stroke: A medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, causing brain cells to die.
Blood disorders: A group of conditions that affect the production or function of blood cells, including anemia, sickle cell disease, and leukemia.
Vascular disorders: A group of conditions that affect the blood vessels, including varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis.
Treatment for circulatory disorders may include medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment of circulatory disorders.
Chinese Medicine Treatment of Circulatory Disorders
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), circulatory disorders are often attributed to imbalances in the body’s natural energy, or qi. The TCM approach to treatment focuses on restoring balance and harmony to the body and addressing the root cause of the disorder, rather than just relieving symptoms.
TCM practitioners may use a variety of treatments to address circulatory disorders, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and lifestyle recommendations.
