This pattern develops over a long period of time due to heartburn, gastric ulcer, regular binge eating; constantly eating in a hurry or while working; difficulty in managing stress, anger and frustration; ongoing resentment; constant financial pressure causing intense worry; unresolved emotions such as bitterness about your life, and constantly criticising, arguing and quarrelling with people. The core of this pattern is stagnation of blood in the stomach. As it can lead to masses (tumours) it is crucial to address the lifestyle causes. Blood stagnation always causes stabbing pain and manifests with dark-coloured blood, leading to vomiting of dark blood. The stomach is related to the large intestine and stasis of blood manifests as blood in the stool.
Symptoms:
Stabbing pain in the stomach, nausea, vomiting dark blood, blood in stool, stressed and worried.
