Introduction of the syndromes of the Qi-blood.
Introduction: The syndrome of the Qi-blood syndrome is a collective term for diseases(or syndromes) of the Qi and blood.

✧Qi stagnation blood-stasis: (1).coexistence of Qi stagnation and blood stasis.or (2).Qi stagnation with blood stasis: a morbid condition in which long-standing stagnation of Qi leads to blood stasis, marked by aggreviation of local pain with tenderness, and even formation of mass.
✧Qi stagnation blood-stasis syndrome: a syndrome resulting from Qi stagnation and blood stasis, marked by a scurrying or stabbing pain in the thoracic, hypochondriac, epigastric or abdominal region with or without mass formation, purple tongue or purple-spotted tongue, wiry and choppy pulse, also known as Qi-blood-stagnation syndrome.
✦Qi deficiency and blood stasis: (1).a morbid condition characterized by the coexistence of Qi deficiency and blood stasis;(2).a morbid condition in which deficiency of Qi leads to blood stasis.
