bubble_chart Modern Application
Modern experimental research has revealed that the blood flow in advanced stage pregnant women becomes slower, primarily due to poor red blood cell deformability and increased red blood cell aggregation, indicating the presence of blood stasis in advanced stage pregnant women. This is also one of the causes of postpartum blood stasis. Based on this, it is beneficial for advanced stage pregnant women to be appropriately administered with invigorating blood and resolving stasis, moving qi, and tonifying qi agents, which can be helpful for parturition and childbirth.
