TCM Approach to Pain Relief

In TCM, pain is often due to Qi and Blood stagnation, caused by:

  • External factors (cold, wind, damp)

  • Overuse or strain (especially in athletes or active individuals)

  • Internal weakness or aging (leading to poor circulation or muscle weakness)

  • Emotional stress affecting Liver Qi flow

TCM aims to promote circulation, release tension, and support healing through natural means.
