Ice and TCM

bbsadmin

Hi tutor.
Second Traditional Chinese Medicine the cold has the feature of to stagnate and to blockate the smooth flow of Qi and blood. In case of bi sindrome, there are pain, and is necessary to restore the flow of qi and blood and to remove pathogenic factor. Here on west is comom to use ice to treat pain, but in my view it increase the stagnation and to make worse the problem. Am I correct? Do you use ice to treat pain in China?
