Chapter 362 Acupuncture Duel

• In traditional medicine, pain was believed to have two primary causes: pain due to malnutrition and pain due to stagnation.
• Pain due to malnutrition was characterized by an imbalance in the body's nutrients, immune system, energy, and blood. This imbalance would result in discomfort as the organs and meridians were deprived of essential nourishment and moisture.
• On the other hand, pain due to stagnation occurred when the flow of energy and blood through the meridians was hindered.
