The Chinese Medicine Perspective
In Chinese Medicine, venous insufficiency reflects Spleen Qi Deficiency with Dampness accumulation — the Spleen fails to transform fluids properly, and Qi cannot lift Blood upward against gravity. Blood and fluids pool in the lower body.
Treatment focuses on strengthening Spleen Qi, resolving Dampness, invigorating Blood, and supporting the upward-lifting function of Qi to promote healthy venous return.
